Abstract

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) bears a heavy burden on patients and the health care system as whole. The incidence of CKD has been increasing in the Arab world over the years due to increases in Diabetes and hypertension which are the most prominent causes of CKD. Syrians are at higher risk for diabetes and hypertension due to the crisis that the country has been going through. 297 patients’ charts were examined in the kidney surgical hospital in Damascus Syria to determine risk factors for CKD, prevalence of diabetes among them and its associating demographic factors along with changes in serum creatinine, urea, fasting blood glucose levels and MDRD score among diabetic CKD patients. 64.6% of patients were above 50, 61.6% were males and 35.4% were diabetic. Patients with diabetes had lower creatinine levels upon admission than non-diabetics. The correlation between fasting blood glucose level and serum creatinine, urea and MDRD was not statistically significant. This paper shows that the prevalence of diabetes among CKD patients is similar in Syrians to the rest of the world despite the increase of diabetes incidence.
