ABSTRACT

AIM:

Development of the renal registry to include patients at different stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD).

BACKGROUND:

The 2007 renal registry include cases at different stages of CKD based on the current guidelines according to the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) Kidney Disease Outcome Initiative (K/DOQI) staging. There was an increase in the number of participating countries, with the addition of Antigua and Barbuda, St Lucia and Turks and Caicos.

METHODS:

Data were collected using a questionnaire form. Data were stored and analysed in Words Excel for Windows or SPSS 12.0.

RESULTS:

Data were available for Antigua and Barbuda (n = 43), British Virgin Islands (n = 69), Cayman Islands (n = 45), Trinidad and Tobago (n = 564), Jamaica (n = 920), Turks and Caicos (n = 64), St Lucia (n = 51) and Bahamas (n = 121). The registry identified hypertension, diabetes mellitus and Chronic Glomerulonephritis (CGN) as the commonest causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in these countries. The leading cause of death reported was listed as ischaemic heart disease/heart failure, sepsis and cerebrovascular accident.

CONCLUSIONS:

The majority of patients with CKD and ESRD had hypertension, diabetes mellitus and CGN as the major causes. Collection of data for patients with CKD at different stages was met with some challenges, and resulted in underestimation of the true number of persons with CKD across these Caribbean countries. More emphasis will continue to be placed on improving data collection so the true incidence, prevalence and healthcare burden of CKD is known in the Caribbean. A web based programme is being developed to improve data collection.
RESUMEN

OBJETIVO:

Desarrollar el registro renal incluyendo pacientes en diferentes etapas de la enfermedad crónica del riñón (ECR). ANTECEDENTES El registro renal 2007 incluye casos en diferentes etapas de la ECR, sobre la base de los lineamientos actuales de la estadificación según la iniciativa para los resultados de la enfermedad crónica renal (K/DOQI) propuesta por la Fundación Nacional del Riñón (NKF). Hubo un aumento en el número de países participantes, al añadirse Antigua y Barbuda, Santa Lucia e Islas Turcas y Caicos.

MÉTODOS:

Los datos fueron recogidos utilizando un cuestionario. Luego fueron almacenados y analizados usando Excel para Windows, o mediante SPSS 12.0.

RESULTADOS:

Hubo a disposición datos para Antigua y Barbuda (n = 43), Islas Vírgenes Británicas (n = 69), Islas Cayman (n = 45), Trinidad y Tobago (n = 564), Jamaica (n = 920), Islas Turcas y Caicos (n = 64), Santa Lucia (n = 51) y Bahamas (n = 121). El registro identificó la hipertensión, la diabetes mellitus y la glomerulonefritis crónica (GNC) como las causas más comunes de la enfermedad crónica del riñón (ECR) y la enfermedad renal terminal (ERT) en estos países. La principal causa de muerte según los reportes, fueron la cardiopatía isquémica/fallo cardíaco, la sepsis y el accidente cardiovascular.

CONCLUSIONES:

La mayoría de los pacientes con ECR y ERT sufrían de hipertensión, diabetes mellitus y GNC como causas mayores. La recogida de datos para los pacientes con ECR tuvo algunas dificultades, por lo que se subestimó el número real de personas con ECR en todos estos países caribeños. Se seguiría haciendo un mayor énfasis en mejorar la recogida de datos, de modo que la verdadera incidencia, prevalencia y carga de atención a la salud de la ECR sea conocida en el Caribe. Se halla en curso el desarrollo de un programa en la red de Internet, a fin de mejorar la recogida de datos.
