ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To screen high risk patients ≥ 45 years attending primary care facilities who have undiagnosed chronic kidney disease (CKD) and identify this group for further intervention. DESIGN ANDMETHODS:
A cross-sectional study design was used, the population consisted of all adults 45 years and older in a primary care setting. A validated questionnaire was administered to all eligible participants.RESULTS:
A total of 227 participants were recruited to the study. No participant refused to participate resulting in a 100% response rate. One hundred and five participants (105, 46.3%) were classified as normal and one hundred and twenty two (122, 53.7%) were classified as having Stages 1-3 CKD. Further, 22 (18.0%) participants were found to be in Stage 3 of CKD.CONCLUSION:
We provide evidence that screening can detect as much as 18.0% of asymptomatic individuals with Stage 3 CKD.
