PROPORTION AND FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH RAPID KIDNEY FUNCTION DECLINE (RKFD) IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE: A RETROSPECTIVE STUDY
Keywords:
Rapid kidney function decline (RKFD), Chronic kidney disease patients, FactorsAbstract
This analytical study aimed to determine the proportion of rapid kidney function decline and the factors associated with the rapid decline of patients with chronic kidney disease in a Chonnabot District, Khon Kaen province. Data from 202 patients in medical records were reviewed and analyzed using descriptive statistics, including frequency, percentage, mean, and inferential statistics, including odds ratio and 95% confidence interval.
The study found that 39 patients out of the 202 samples had a rapid kidney function decline, accounting for 19.31 percent (95% CI 14.43-25.33). Factors associated with rapid kidney function decline included low body mass index (BMI < 18.5) (ORadj 2.44; 95%CI 1.91-6.54), alcohol consumption (ORadj 2.21; 95%CI 1.69-7.05), high uric acid levels (ORadj 4.52; 95%CI 1.46-13.96), high cholesterol levels (ORadj 3.59; 95%CI 1.09-11.86), and high LDL levels (ORadj 1.25; 95%CI 1.07-3.87).
