Abstract (english)
Background. National surveys have reported variable prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD), due to differences in the characteristics of the population, study design, equations used for the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and definitions. The EH-UH 2 survey is the first study evaluating CKD prevalence, characteristics, and awareness in Croatia. Methods. This was a cross-sectional nationwide observational study designed to assess the prevalence of CKD and cardio–kidney–metabolic risk factors in Croatia, which included 1765 randomly selected subjects. We estimated the prevalence of CKD by means of the albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) and eGFR (CKD-EPI equation). Comorbidities and anthropometric and social factors related to the prevalence of CKD were analyzed, and the CV risk profile was evaluated. Results. The weighted prevalence of CKD (any stage), CKD stage ≥G3A A2, and CKD defined only as an eGFR 30 mg/g was 15.1%. Older age, male gender, diabetes, ePWV, and uric acid were independently associated with CKD prevalence. The awareness of CKD was 9.5%. Persons unaware of CKD were older with lower income, less education, more frequent diabetes, hypertension (less frequently controlled), and milder renal impairment. Conclusions. In Croatia, the estimated prevalence of CKD is high, being presented more frequently in men than in women. CKD patients have an unfavorable CV risk profile. The awareness of CKD is very low, reflecting poor health literacy in the general population but also in health-care workers.
