Chronic kidney disease strikes Indians at a younger age. The mean age for chronic kidney disease or CKD in India is 50 years, even though the disease can strike at 35.
In India, CKD strikes at a younger age among people living in the north. Patients with CKD of unknown cause (etiology) are younger, poorer and more likely to suffer from advanced kidney troubles.
A multi-city study conducted by a team of doctors, including those in Hydera-bad and Visakhapatnam, reveals that 35.5 per cent of patients are from the south, and 27.9 per cent from the north, and about 25 per cent of patients are from the west, and 11 per cent from the east.
The report is based on the first-ever research conducted on the data of the Indian CKD Registry, which was set up seven years ago.
The study shows that kidney complications caused by diabetes (diabetic nephropathy) is by far the most common cause (31 per cent), followed by CKD of undetermined etiology (16 per cent). The study states that about 48 per cent cases are in the stage V of kidney disease.
Patients in lower income groups suffer from more advanced CKD. The study confirms the emergence of diabetic nephropathy as the prominent cause in India. CKD of undetermined etiology is encountered most frequently in the south (20.2 per cent). The CKD population in public sector hospitals comprised a higher proportion of younger patients from poorer sections, presenting the stage V CKD of uncertain etiology.
