Abstract
Background: The number of patients with chronic kidney disease and those requiring dialysis is increasing markedly and can be considered as a major public health challenges. The current study aims to report on the risk factors of chronic kidney injury among diabetic and non-diabetic hemodialysis patients in Duhok Governorate, Kurdistan Region of Iraq.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted in facilities that provide dialysis treatment in Duhok province, Kurdistan Region of Iraq. A total of 171 registered cases who diagnosed as a chronic renal failure requiring maintenance hemodialysis treatment were included.
Results: The most common age group having chronic kidney injury was 55-69 years old. The results showed that most common factors were DM and hypertension. High creatinine level group were those aged 40-69 years and patients without DM show higher frequency of high S. Creatinine level. S. Creatinine was higher among non-controlled diabetic patients.
Conclusions: Proper evaluation and screening of risk factors, and appropriate intervention and treatment of underlying causes, and regular follow up is needed to reduce the overall cost and economic burden and to minimize the consequences and improve the prognosis of patients with chronic kidney injury especially those with diabetes mellitus and hypertension.
