Background

According to the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, in Mexico the global burden attributed to chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the highest worldwide. Unfortunately the country don’t have any official registry. Since June 2018, the Health Council from Aguascalientes brought together the main health institutions that provide renal replacement therapy to start the state registry of CKD

Methods

Describe the results of the first year of data collection of the Aguascalientes CKD registry

Results

Until May 2019, 2,574 patients have been registered, of whom 93 have died and 321 are transplanted. The estimated prevalence is 1,526 pmp (n= 2,160). The most common causes are CKD are: of unknown origin (n= 981, 45.4%), Diabetes Mellitus (n=681, 31.5%), Systemic Arterial Hypertension (n= 326, 15%). The most prevalent modality of renal substitution was hemodialysis (n= 1,365, 63.1%). 59% are men (n= 1,274). The average age of the patients included was 46.5 years, with a bimodal distribution. The first group between 20 and 39 yo (n= 1,107, 51.2%) and the second between 50 and 69 yo (n= 843, 39%). Since January 2012, 389 kidney biopsies have been performed in the state. The main diagnosis was focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis(FSGS) (n= 128, 32.9%), followed by lupus neph (n= 55, 14.1%), IgA neph (n= 48, 12.3%), minimal changes dis (n= 45, 11.5) and membranous neph (n= 22, 5.6%)

Conclusion

In Aguascalientes Mexico, we have a high prevalence of CKD.The main cause is of unknown origin. The main affected group are young adults between 20 and 40 y and the most frequent glomeulopathy in this group was FSGS. At this moment a study of screening of CKD in adolescents in the state is being developed which is expected to contribute to the study of the causes of CKD in our population
