| dc.description.abstract | Background: Chronic kidney disease is a progressive decline in kidney function, characterized by structural or functional abnormalities lasting over three months, often detected through reduced glomerular filtration rate, abnormal blood or urine tests, or imaging. Chronic kidney diseases progresses through five stages based on glomerular filtration rate, ranging from normal function to kidney failure. Hypertension is a major risk factor for chronic kidney diseases, which if untreated, can lead to kidney failure. Objectives: To assess the prevalence and factors associated with chronic kidney disease among hypertensive patients on follow-up in a selected public hospital in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 2025. Methods: 233 hypertensive patients were recruited for follow-up in specific public hospitals between December 21 and January 21, 2025, using a cross-sectional study design. A basic random sampling technique was used to choose the participants, and questionnaires for in person interviews, reviews of medical charts, and laboratory forms were used to gather data. For analysis, every piece of data was exported from Excel into SPSS version 27. The results were displayed using tables and charts after descriptive statistics were calculated to characterize the frequency, percentages, and distributions of the sample. Bivariate and multivariable variables were included in a binary logistic regression analysis; variables with a p-value < 0.05 were deemed linked to chronic kidney diseases. Result: Chronic kidney disease was present in 22.3% (95% CI: 22.5%, 33.8%) of patients with hypertensive follow-up at specific public hospitals. Factors including residence (AOR=11.50, 95% CI: 3.24-40.77), hypertension stage (AOR=7.25, 95% CI: 1.60-32.86), and duration of hypertension (AOR=16.14, 95% CI: 4.40-59.21) were significantly linked to chronic kidney disease in multivariate logistic analysis. Conclusion: According to this study, 22.3% of hypertensive patients had chronic kidney disease. In terms of contributing factors, the incidence of chronic kidney disease in hypertensive patients is correlated with living in a rural area, having advanced hypertension, and having had hypertension for more than ten years. | |
