Chronic Kidney Disease in Pakistani Population

NCT00800878 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 650

Summary

The Indo-Asian developing countries are facing an epidemic of chronic diseases including hypertension, diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Diagnosis of early CKD is essential for institution of effective and timely prevention of its complications; costly late stage treatment for end stage renal disease is currently an unfeasible option in these populations. GFR estimates of kidney function provide a common reference standard for all people and are therefore readily applicable by physicians and understood by patients. However, the existing GFR equations yield widely discrepant results in the Indo Asian population, and none of the currently available estimating equations have been validated in this population.

The main objective is to develop a tool which can be used for screening subjects at high risk for developing CKD (with hypertension and diabetes) as well as the general population.
