To Study the Prevalence of Neurological Diseases in the Primary Health Care System

Abstract

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global public health problem that is often undiagnosed and untreated. CKD is a "silent" disease and remains unnoticed because it cannot be "felt". However, it affects many more people than we can imagine: 1 in 10 adults in the world has some form of kidney damage. However, up to 90% of those with CKD remain undetected. High blood pressure and diabetes are the main causes of CKD. Diabetes is projected to increase by 70% by 2025. Therefore, early detection and prevention of the progression of CKD in people with very high cardiovascular risk are extremely important tasks and goals for general practitioners/family doctors (GP/CB).). CKD is a progressive irreversible decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Unfortunately, most chronic nephropathies lack specific treatment, and they steadily progress to end-stage renal failure (ESRD). Progressive loss of renal function is common in kidney failure, regardless of the underlying cause of kidney disease
