| dc.description.abstract | Abstract: Introduction: End-stage renal disease patients are in rising trend globally, and they have been found to occur predominantly in developing countries. Many studies have been published before, within and across the countries, to know the clinicodemographic profile of end-stage renal disease patients. However, no such studies were done in Chitwan, Nepal. This study’s main objective was to find the prevalence of newly diagnosed end-stage renal disease patients. Methods: A hospital-based descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in the Department of Nephrology from May 2016 to April 2019. Convenient sampling was done, and all the consecutive new end-stage renal disease patients were included in the study. The ethical approval was taken from the Institutional Review Committee (reference number. 2016/COMSTH/IRC/042). The prevalence and demographic profile of new end-stage renal disease patients were studied. The data were analyzed with appropriate statistical tools. Results: A total of 250 new end-stage renal disease patients were found among 2200 admitted patients. The prevalence of new end-stage renal disease was found to be 250 (11.36%). Out of 250 patients, males were 156 (62.4%), and females were 94 (37.6%). The mean age was 49.6±15.5 years. The commonest cause of the incident end-stage renal disease was Type 2 Diabetes mellitus 89 (35.6%). Conclusions: The prevalence of new end-stage renal disease was found to be quite high. The commonest cause of the incident end-stage renal disease was Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. | |
