Assessment of Risk Factors for Chronic Kidney Disease in Djamaa (El Oued, Algeria) Population

Purpose: This study was conducted aiming at evaluating some risk factors in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) in Djamaa (El Oued, Algeria) region. Materials and Methods: Our study is based on 77 voluntary individuals divided into healthy man and women reserved as a control with average age of 46.61± 2.84 years old and CKD patients with average age of 46.03± 2.95 years old; their origin covers the whole Djamaa (El Oued, Algeria) region and they were selected from the dialysis service of SAAD DEHLEB hospital Djamaa (El Oued Algeria). Risk of certain socio-clinical factors has been estimated by the determination of the value of Odd Ratio (OR). Results: Our study reports show a strong association between clinical factors such as Diabetes, urinary problems and Arterial hyper pressure (OR= 5.135, 6.60 and 78.276; P ≤0.05) with chronic kidney disease, respectively, but in this study we show that the Renal herbal medicine and History of kidney disease are the most dangerous risk factors, (OR = 20.00, o‎r =25,45 ; p≤0.001), respectively, for spices and Amount of water (OR ranging from 0.232 to 0.352; P ≤0.032) are important protective factors against this disease. Conclusion: Lifestyle is a contributing factor in CKD attainment in the region of Djamaa (El Oued, Algeria), which requires high sensitivity to modify these behaviors for limited progression of the disease in this region.
