ABSTRACT

The chronic kidney disease takes a special place among chronic non-communicable diseases because it is characterized by wide prevalence worldwide. However, its detection rate among Moscow adult population is 1%, though in the European countries this indicator is significantly higher and is made up on average to 6%. At the terminal stage of chronic kidney disease, quality of life of such patients decreases dramatically, that result in working capacity loss and disability. These patients often require expensive methods of programmed hemo- and peritoneal dialysis. The corresponding mortality is much higher as compared with total mortality. Among the frequent causes of hospitalization and mortality of such patients, complications of blood circulation system diseases are registered. The existing problem of low detection of kidney pathology in the population is the main cause of untimely treatment start. The rapid disease progression results in higher indices of premature mortality and increased costs of treatment of patients with this pathology. The timely diagnosis of disorders of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism permits to identify chronic kidney disease at an early stage and to start to carry out adequate treatment and prevention measures. The purpose of the study is to implement the technology of improving efficiency of detection of chronic kidney disease. Methods. The organizational experiment, analytical, mathematical and statistical research methods. Results of the study. The detection rate of chronic kidney disease amounted to 8%. Among the respondents with chronic kidney disease diagnosed, more than 80% had initial stages of disease (I-III). In this case, appropriate therapy and prevention can prolong kidney functioning and reduce velocity of disease progression. At the same time, 16.3% of patients at the late stage of diseases progression (stages IV-V) were identified.The detection rate for all stages of chronic kidney disease increases with age Conclusions. The level of detection of chronic kidney disease in the base territory is comparable with the indices established in the European countries. The need to improve quality of diagnostic and prevention of chronic kidney disease was proven. To improve overall prognosis and prevention of development of terminal renal failure is possible only in case of brigade approach to treatment including active interaction of cardiologist and nephrologist, endocrinologist and nephrologist or of all these three specialists. Scope of the results. The established higher detection rate of chronic kidney disease (8%), as compared to actual one (1%), permits to claim that with systematic improvement of diagnosis, the detection of chronic kidney disease will increase iteratively and population need for nephrologic medical care will significantly increase that will require increasing in resource support and revising of planned and normative indices for this type of medical care.
