Enfermedad renal oculta en pacientes diabéticos : estadiaje mediante la fórmula de creatinina de la epidemiología de la enfermedad renal crónica en el Hospital Básico IESS Durán periodo 2022-2023.

Abstract

Hidden kidney disease is a complex disease of multiple etiologies, which is characterized by an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 ml/min/1.73m², with serum creatinine levels ranging from 0.5 mg/dL to 1.2 mg/dL. The present study aims to determine the prevalence of HIDDEN KIDNEY DISEASE through the CKD-EPI 2021 formula. A retrospective observational study was carried out with the serum creatinine results ofdiabetic male and female patients attended at the outpatient clinic of the BasicIESS DURÁN Hospital in the period 2022-2023. The presence of HIDDEN KIDNEY DISEASE was identified with the help of the CKD-EPI 2021 formula,and patients were classified using the KDIGO 2012 guidelines. From the selected population, inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied, determining a nonprobabilistic sample of 35 patients. The results obtained through statistical analysis established that 23 (65.7%) female patients and 12 (34.3%)male patients presented HIDDEN KIDNEY DISEASE. It is recommended thatthe hospital implement the use of the CKD-EPI 2021 formula, with the purposeof being able to detect early damage in renal function through the estimation of eGFR.
