Abstract: (1398 Views)
In this survey CRF case from Arak , Shazand and Ashtiyan (769000 population), who have referred to Vali-e Asr general hospital and each case has been observed individually. During two years ( From 22 may 1997 until 21 may 1999), it showed that, 127 CRF patients there were 59 females (44.1%) and 71 males (55.9%). The annual rate was 82.3 per million, 21.25% were rural and 78.75% were urban while the rate of rural population to urban population is 44% to 66%. It seems as is the lower rate of rural patients is due to socioeconomic problems and lack of study, recognition and poor control of diseases, especially in higher ages and it doesn’t necessarily meaning lower rate of this illness in villages. In this survey, the highest rate is seen in glumerolonephritis and then in hypertension and diabetes mellitus which this trend is quite opposite in western societies. The reason probably is the socioeconomic problems as well as lack of patients familiarity with this diseases and the significance of its regular follow up and treatment and using the special treatment exclusively in villages. Also this survey showed that congenital renal disease and obstructive uropathy diseases are calssified in fourth grade of significance from a CRF etiology. This study showed that although the CRF is more popular in men than women. There is no meaningful difference between them.
