Epidemiology of end-stage renal disease in Dubai: Single-center data

Abstract

Hemodialysis (HD) was first established in Dubai in the year 1980 and was in its full capacity by the year 1983. Since then, the HD population has been growing rapidly. This report represents the demographic data and clinical characteristics of our HD patients during the period between January 2012 and October 2016. Diabetic nephropathy (57%) and hypertension (12.4%) are emerging as the most common causes of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in our data, followed by undetermined causes in those who presented as ESRD (10.9%), and then by rejected transplant in 4.6%. Obstructive uropathy in our data was 4.37% among all causes. The causes were primary glomerulonephritis (only proven cases in kidney biopsy were counted) in 3.6%, adult polycystic kidney disease in 2.43%, and lupus nephritis in 1.45% of cases. The prevalence of ESRD in the current study was 152 patients per million population per year.

“…Results of this study are presented in tables and figures and broadly summarized into 2 categories: desk research (Tables 1 [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] and 2 10,[18][19][20][21] , Figure 1, and Supplementary Table S1) and survey administration (Figures 2-5 and Supplementary Figures S1-S5).…”

“…Data on the prevalence of treated KF were available for only 8 of the 13 countries in the region (Table 2). [18][19][20] All 3 modes of KRT (long-term HD, PD, and kidney transplantation) were available from most countries; Saudi Arabia (826 pmp) and the United Arab Emirates (152 pmp) reported the highest and lowest prevalence of treated KF in the region, respectively. Lebanon reported the highest prevalence of HD (668.5 pmp), whereas Qatar reported the highest prevalence of long-term PD (104.5 pmp), although the prevalence of long-term HD was still more than twice as high in Qatar (296.4 pmp), indicating a preference of HD over PD.…”

“…The incidence of kidney transplantation was highest in Iran (30.96 pmp) and lowest in Oman and the United Arab Emirates (2.22 and 3.04 pmp, repectively) (Table 2). [18][19][20] Iran reported the highest incidence of deceased donor transplantation (17.49 pmp), comprising 56.5% of transplants, whereas Jordan had the highest incidence of living donor transplantation (25.19 pmp), comprising 100% of transplants. Of the 11 countries that provided transplant data, in 4 countries, kidneys from deceased donors were not used (Jordan, Oman, Syria, and the United Arab Emirates).…”

Association of Biochemical Parameters with Renal Functions of End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Patients of Bangladesh

“…Changes in the style of living, increase in incident chronic diseases lead to a high complication. There is a significant association between Glomerulonephritis and other urinary tract infection with incident of ESRD which was confirmed by several studies conducted in different countries [32][33][34][35][36]. The associations of different cut-off values of serum creatinine with the risks of death from any causes, particularly with the cardiovascular events have been examined in several studies [37][38][39][40][41].…”

“…Similarly, Alalawi et al . have also reported that 57% and 12.4% of the ESRD cases resulted from diabetic nephropathy and hypertension, respectively [ 26 ]. It has also been reported that anxiety and depression are associated with ESRD [ 27 ].…”
