Causes of Chronic Renal Insufficiency of the African Black Subject: A retrospective study of 18 months in the Department of Nephrology and Hemodialysis of the University Hospital of Point G Mali

Abstract: But. Déterminer par ordre de fréquence les principales pathologies responsables d’insuffisance rénale chronique au Mali. Patients et Méthodes. Il s’agissait d’une étude rétrospective réalisée dans le service de Néphrologie et d’hémodialyse du CHU du Point G. Elle portait sur tous les dossiers complets des patients suivis du 1er janvier 2015 au 30 Juin 2016 dans le service pour insuffisance rénale chronique. Les diagnostics évoqués l’ont été sur la base de regroupement syndromique, et les étiologies déterminées… Show more

“…The similarly high incidence of hypovitaminosis D that we describe is within the range of the results reported in the few studies conducted in SSA in hemodialysis patients. [12][13][14][15] Apart from the risk of bone fragility, this complication exposes patients to decreased muscle tone, the occurrence of tetany and seizures [in relation to hypocalcemia], hypocalcemia, an increased risk of cancer, diabetes, depression and autoimmune diseases. 22 Considering the significant extrarenal production of 1, 25 [OH] D even in advanced CKD, the KDIGO experts recommend supplementing dialysis patients with 25 [OH] D. 17 Since the HD centers in Kinshasa comply with these recommendations, a lower frequency of 25 [OH] D deficiency would be expected, which was not the case.…”

“…10,11 A few rare studies conducted in sub-Saharan Africa [SSA] have reported a frequency of hypovitaminosis D varying between 60 and 80% among chronic hemodialysis patients, often associated with normal or elevated PTH levels. [12][13][14][15] The factors associated with this decrease and the concordance between 25 [OH] D levels and expected iPTH values have not yet been studied in our setting.…”
