An Endoscopic Study for Gerd in Patients of CKD in North Indian Population-1
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
GERD and CKD are both highly prevalent clinical conditions, and several studies have suggested that the prevalence of GERD is significantly higher in the CKD population. The present study was conducted in Postgraduate Department of Medicine from December 2015 to March 2017. All patients were adults with eGFR < 60 ml/min for a duration of more than 3 months and radiologically and biochemically confirmed CKD. A total of 68 patients, of which 45 were males and 23 were females were subjected to UGIE after screening. In our study gastritis seen in 36.76% was the most frequent finding, followed by GERD 26.47% ; normal finding was found in only 32.35%. Hypertension found in 85.29% and anaemia in 80.88 were also very common findings. UGI endoscopy was abnormal in majority of the patients, both symptomatic and asymptomatic. UGIE abnormalities were found to be frequent enough for this investigation to be considered regularly in all symptomatic CKD patients, and even in CKD patients with no upper gastrointestinal symptom.
