Topic: PREVALENCE OF ANALGELSIC NEPHROPATHY IN CKD POPULATION IN LASUTH

Description: Analgesic nephropathy is kind of chronic interstitial nephritis which is caused by long term usage of one or more analgesic for medication. The specific medication and the dose interval required have not been fully understood De Broe 1998 . Analgesic nephropathy can be considered as one of the causes of end-stage renal failure De Broe 1998; Chang et al. 2008 . Some authorities defines analgesic nephropathy as ingestion of more than 2g of multiple analgesia which must contain phenacetin taking for more than 2 years consecutively.Analgesic nephropathy is diagnosed with computerized tomography which shows areas of clubbed calysix, shrunken kidneys and calcifications.analgesic nephropathy contributes about 6 to 8 % to the event of CKD in Europe. There is scarcity of data in the tropics regarding this occurrence, hence the need to fill in the gap.The study looked at 80 patients that met the inclusion criteria and were subjected statistical analysis.

Predictive Indices in Carotid Artery Amongs CKD Patients

Patients with end stage renal diseases are at increased risk of cardiovascular complications which include frequent transient ischaemic attack and eventual strokes. Studies have shown that early detection of events that lead to stenosis of carotid vessels and treatment may go along way to retard Cvs associated with morbidity and mortality; hence the need for non- invasive early assessment of the carotid vessels.The aims and objectives of the project are one, to identify the prevalence of patients with end stage renal diseases ar risk of carotid stenosis. Two, to determine weather there is relationship between carotid stenosis and duration on dialysis. Three, to determine weather causes of CKD/ESRD have Causal Relationship with Carotid Artery changes. The study is a cross sectional work of one hundred and fifty patients on dialysis at different durations of dialysis. Mobile doppler ultrasound will be used to determine the changes in carotid artery. The data will be analyzed using SPSS 23
