Abstract

Renal diseases are highly prevalent among the Mexican population. In the first half of 2021, they ranked 10th as a cause of death in Mexico. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with an age-related decline in renal function, the presence of hypertension, diabetes, obesity and primary renal disorders. For this research, during 2018, a descriptive analytical study was conducted in Copalillo, Guerrero, Mexico, with the aim of identifying the biochemical and anthropometric alterations that influence the presentation and development of occult renal disease (ORD) and CKD in diabetic patients. Anthropometric and biochemical parameters were determined: creatinine, glucose, urea, cholesterol, triglycerides, albuminuria and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). For the determination of GFR, the CKD-EPI equation was used, based on the use of standardized creatinine, adjusted for age, sex, and race. For the quantitative parameters, the statistical values of mean, standard deviation, maximum value and minimum value were obtained; for the comparison of means, the p-value was used by applying Student's t-test using Stata v14.2 software. The total study population consisted of 86 adult diabetic patients and 114 non-diabetic patients, of whom 71 % (142) were female and 29 % (58) male. It was identified that 45 % of the diabetic patients were not following the treatment for this pathology, 87 % presented hyperglycemia and 7 % presented elevated creatinine values. The determination of GFR by means of the CKD-EPI equation made it possible to identify 11 patients with kidney disease, of whom five had ROS and six had CKD, that is, 2.5 % and 3 % of the total population, respectively. In addition, 81 % of these patients with kidney disease were diabetic. Finally, statistically significant differences were observed in the parameters of creatinine, urea, albuminuria, glomerular filtration rate, diastolic blood pressure, systolic blood pressure and age between patients with kidney disease and those without the disease.
