Key result
Screening of first and second-degree relatives of hemodialysis patients revealed a 12% prevalence of chronic kidney disease, which was significantly associated with age, blood pressure, and blood glucose levels.
Why the study?
To estimate the prevalence and socioeconomic characteristics of CKD in first- and second-degree relatives of patients on hemodialysis.
Cross-Sectional (n=408)
Yes
Screening relatives of hemodialysis patients reveals a 12% prevalence of CKD, highlighting the need for systematic evaluation in this high-risk group.

May support CKD screening in relatives of hemodialysis patients; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
Objective: To estimate the prevalence and socioeconomic characteristics of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) in first and second-degree relatives of patients on hemodialysis Method: A questionnaire was applied on socioeconomic conditions, lifestyle, and personal pathological background. The formula of CKD-EPI and/or proteinuria greater than or equal to 1+ was used to characterize CKD. Analysis using the logistic regression model. Results: 408 individuals were evaluated and 12% had CKD. 6.61% had a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) ≤ 60 mL / min / 1.73 m2 and 5.39% proteinuria in the urine. The variables associated with the presence of CKD were age (OR = 1,60; 95% IC = 1,31-1,96), PAS (OR: 1,69; 95% IC: 1,24-2,28), PAD (OR: 1,52; 95% IC: 1,18- 1,96) and blood glucose (OR: 2,03; 95% IC: 1,38-2,99). Conclusion: It is necessary to implement routines for systematic evaluation that prevent or delay the loss of renal function, in addition to measures that improve the pre-dialysis clinical conditions of this population.

A 2021 study conducted a cross-sectional in Chronic Kidney Disease (n=408). First and second-degree relatives of hemodialysis patients was evaluated on Prevalence of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Screening of first and second-degree relatives of hemodialysis patients revealed a 12% prevalence of chronic kidney disease, which was significantly associated with age, blood pressure, and blood glucose levels.
