Abstract
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), also known as chronic renal disease, is the progressive, irreversible deterioration of renal function.
Objective
The main objective of this study was to assess the risk factors and medication adherence for CKD patients in rural tertiary care teaching hospital by using risk assessment form and morisky medication adherence questionnaire form respectively.
Methods
These forms contain closed ended questionnaires. It is a prospective observational study conducted over a period of six months.
Results
In this study 300 subjects consisting of 188 (62.7%) men and 112(37.3%) women had chronic kidney disease. In this study Age, gender, BMI, Family history, Smoking and Alcoholic were observed for risk factor assessment and morisky medication adherence scale is used to assess adherence of the patient towards medication. In CKD patients, age is a major risk factor, in which more number of patients of age 41-50 years were 92 (30.7%) found. Commonly seen risk factors were age, gender, BMI, and family history. More no. of patients were highly adherent to their medication i.e., 51.3%.
Conclusion
By this study we concluded that more number of male CKD patients were exposed to risk factors than female and more patients are highly adherent to their medication.
