Background and Objectives: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is now a global public health problem. In low-and middle-income countries such as the Congo, access to dialysis is low and inequitable. The prevention of CKD involves raising awareness among patients at risk, such as those suffering from arterial hypertension (AH), by improving their knowledge of CKD. The objectives of our work were to determine the level of knowledge about CKD among hypertensive patients and to identify the factors associated with a low level of knowledge. Methodology: We conducted a 3-month descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study from 1 August to 30 October 2023 in 3 large public hospitals in Brazzaville (capital of the Republic of Congo). We included: hypertensive patients aged 18 and over who had freely consented to participate in our study and were able to answer the questions on the survey form. Patients with known hypertension who had been followed for less than 3 years and those with known chronic renal failure were not included. Results: The mean age was 58.4 ± 14.4 years (29 -88 years). There were 121 men and 150 women (sex ratio = 0.8). All the patients were educated; 37.2% with a higher level of education and 13.6% with primary education. 24 patients (9%) had a good level of knowledge about CKD and 153 (56%) had poor knowledge. A good level of knowledge was associated with the duration of hypertension, intellectual level and the existence of associated heart disease. Conclusion: Our study reveals a significant lack of knowledge about chronic kidney disease among hypertensive patients in Brazzaville.

This work aimed to evaluete the acute toxicity and to compare the analgesic and antipyretic effects of a recipe consisting of a mixture of leaf powders from of S. alata, and J.curcas with these two plants. Acute toxicity was evalueted by oral administration of a single dose (5000 mg/kg) orally in mice according the OECD, (2001) guideline no. 423. The results obtained show that the aqueous extracts of the leaves of S. alata, J.curcas and the recipe caused a brief reduction of mobility. However, no mortality and change in general behavior were observed. Pain was induced by intraperitoneal administration of 0.6% acetic acid in mice and by 2.5% subplantar formaldehyde in rats. The results obtained show that paracetamol (standard drug, 100 mg/kg), tramadol (standard drug, 10 mg/kg), aqueous extracts of S. alata (250, 500 and 1000 mg/kg), J. curcas ( 250, 500 and 1000 mg/kg) and the recipe (250, 500 and 1000 mg/kg) signicantly reduced (P<0.001) the number of abdominal writhing induced by acetic acid as well as the frequency of licking or biting of the paws induced by formaldehyde during the two phases compared to the control group. These results suggest a peripheral and central analgesic effect of the aqueous extracts with a potentiation of the effect by the recipe. Fever was induced by subcutaneous administration of a solution of brewer's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). The results obtained show that the aqueous extracts of S. alata (250, 500 and 1000 mg/kg), J. curcas (1000 mg/kg) and the recipe (250, 500 and 1000 mg/kg) signicantly lower (p<0.05) the hyperthermia induced by brewers' yeast with more marked falls obtained with the receipt between 4 and 5 hours.
