HIV-positive individuals are at increased risk for kidney disease, including HIV-associated nephropathy, noncollapsing focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, immune-complex and comorbid as well injury resulting from prolonged exposure to antiretroviral therapy or opportunistic infections. Clinical guidelines disease prevention treatment in largely extrapolated studies the general population, do not fully incorporate existing knowledge of unique HIV-related pathways genetic factors that...
The upsurge in incidence and prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) both developed developing nations has necessitated a renewed interest global CKD prevention because it is now regarded as public health threat. Although management consuming huge proportion care finances countries, contributing significantly to morbidity, mortality, decreased life expectancy ones. epidemiological characteristics Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are strikingly different from those observed other regions....
There is a dearth of data on end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in Africa. Several national registries have been established but not sustainable because resource limitations. The African Association Nephrology (AFRAN) and the Paediatric (AFPNA) recognize importance good registry plan to establish an Renal Registry. This article reviews elements needed for successful gives overview developed developing countries, with emphasis It then discusses proposed Registry first steps towards its...
Evidence-based cinical practice guidelines improve delivery of uniform care to patients with and at risk developing kidney disease, thereby reducing disease burden improving outcomes. These are not well-integrated into systems in most low- middle-income countries (LMICs). The KDIGO Controversies Conference on Implementation Strategies LMIC reviewed the current state knowledge order define a road map implementation guideline-based LMICs. An international group multidisciplinary experts...

In order to determine the pattern of renal disease and risk factors for in HIV-infected Nigerians, we studied 400 consecutive HIV/AIDS patients (210 males, 190 females) aged between 18 65 years (mean +/- SD; 34.6 9.4 years), examined attributable infection. Diagnosis was based on consistent presence at least 1+ albuminuria and/or elevated serum creatinine (>132 micromol/l) as well absence other identifiable causes chronic kidney (CKD). We determined socio-demography clinical findings, full...
Kidney length has traditionally been used as a predictor of chronic kidney disease (CKD); however, volume (KV) rather than emphasized by researchers true size in states good health and disease. Since KV can be assumed to mass or remaining surviving nephrons CKD patients, we theorized that the should reflect functional capacity kidneys, i.e. glomerular filtration rate (GFR).Forty patients were recruited investigated. Measured GFR was determined calculating average endogenous creatinine...
Background: Different studies have looked at the effect of periodontitis on chronic kidney disease but only few evaluated severities Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) especially among predialysis patients. This study revealed association between and CKD patients findings from this may be applied to management Methods: A cross-sectional involving 120 pre-dialysis participants. Full periodontal examination was carried out participants assessed using American Academy Periodontology, 2005...
Background: Assessment drives candidates’ learning and focuses on the main goals objectives of course. Over years, determination pass scores in medical education has evolved from arbitrary 50% to actual cut-off standard setting process order make a decision pass/fail candidates presenting for licensure or credentialing purposes. Materials Methods: The study aimed at assessing comparing performance pre- post-adoption college. This was comparative cross-sectional with time trend. Examination...
Background:The computer revolution and Information Technology (IT) have transformed modern health care systems in the areas of communication, teaching, storage retrieval medical information.These developments positively impacted patient management training retraining healthcare providers.Little information is available on level utilization IT among professionals developing countries.Objectives: To assess knowledge pattern technology students a university teaching hospital Nigeria.Methods:...
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) particularly in its most severe form, end-stage renal (ESRD), is highly prevalent globally. Although both the incidence and prevalence appears to be increasing, rate of increase far higher developing countries, probably as a result underdevelopment, high communicable noncommunicable diseases, poverty well inaccessible, unavailable, or unaffordable treatment modalities. The epidemiology differs remarkably between developed economies - it afflicts young middle-aged...
Sickle cell disease (SCD), a genetically inherited of blacks, often presents with disabling acute complications which can occasionally be fatal. Its renal manifestations are increasingly being recognized as affected patients now survive to middle and rarely old age. We set out determine the magnitude kidney dysfunction in our SCD patient population evaluate its predictive factors. reviewed available case records managed hospital. Information on socio-demographic, clinical laboratory data...
The incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in hospitalized patients is increasing. Many these survive the immediate post-AKI period and may be prone to developing long-term complications AKI. This study aimed determine whether complete recovery following an episode AKI associated with a lower risk major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).Retrospective cohort study.Adults admitted University Virginia Medical Center between January 1, 2002 December 31, 2012 who developed hospital-acquired...
BACKGROUND: Information on renal bone disease (RBD) issparse in Nigeria. The prevalence of RBD a dialysis population worldwide ranges between 33% and 67% it increases with progression insufficiency.OBJECTIVE: To determine the magnitude ofRBD patients end stage (ESRD).METHODS: Thirty consecutive ESRD were recruited. They had thorough clinical evaluation investigations which included serum calcium, phosphate, alkaline phosphatase, albumin skeletal survey. iPTH, osteocalcin, 1,25 (OH2) D3...
