Abstract

The aim of the study is to estimate prevalence of renal dysfunction in chronic respiratory diseases. Study participants shall be identified as chronic respiratory disease attendants accompanying patients visit OPDs in-patients, and shall be willing and volunteer to participate in the study after understanding the study details and consenting, clinical examination, and investigations which included. Groups of chronic respiratory Diseases  individuals will be evaluated for participation in the study. Objectives: To determine the prevalence of renal dysfunction in stable COPD patients and characterize associations between pulmonary function parameters and renal function markers. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional observational study enrolled 200 consecutive stable COPD outpatients from August 2022 through February 2024 at a tertiary pulmonary medicine center. Comprehensive spirometric assessment, dyspnea grading (MMRC scale), six-minute walk testing, and laboratory evaluation including serum creatinine, blood urea, uric acid, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) via CKD-EPI formula were performed. Statistical analysis employed chi-square tests with significance established at p<0.05. Results: The chi-square statistic is 3.5198. The p-value is .040638. The result is significant at p < .05. Blood urea levels showed a statistically significant distribution (p < 0.05), with the majority of patients having values between 40–100 mg/dL, suggesting preserved renal function in most participants. Conclusion: In the current study of spirometry patients with obstructive pattern FEF25-75%, 67.5% of patients were found in the moderate category and 23% in the severe category which is a more significant and fair relationship with renal dysfunction. Serum creatinine estimation of more than 7% of patients found slightly deranged in COPD patients correlate with other parameters which are studied in this study was significant in renal dysfunction. Age distribution in our current study fair association found in age >60yr  with renal dysfunction assessment.

INTRODUCTION

The burden of chronic respiratory Diseases that affect both adults and children is constantly increasing globally[1]. The mortality and morbidity reason for respiratory Infections is indistinct; nonetheless, on-going measurements distributed by WHO and other agencies found a gauge of around 400 million individuals all over the planet are enduring with mild to moderate circumstances Asthma and COPD alone Chronic respiratory Diseases affect the airways and other structures of the lungs. Some of the most common are chronic obstructive pulmonary Diseases (COPD), asthma, occupational lung Diseases, bronchictesis, pulmonary hypertension. In addition to tobacco smoke, other risk factors include air pollution, occupational chemicals and dusts, and frequent lower respiratory infections during childhood. CHRONIC RESPIRATORY DISEASES are not curable; however, various forms of treatment that help open the air passages and improve shortness of breath can help control symptoms and improve daily life for people living with these conditions[2]. Chronic respiratory Diseases are Diseases of the airways and other structures of the lung,1 and are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide[3-5]. Some of the most common chronic respiratory Diseases are asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary DISEASES (COPD), and occupational lung Diseases. These Diseases entities are important contributors to the rising burden of non-communicable Diseases (NCDs) globally. [6]

 

The WHO Worldwide Union against Persistent Respiratory Sicknesses was laid out determined to decrease the weight of constant respiratory Sicknesses, towards a world wherein all individuals inhale openly, and centers around the requirements of individuals with ongoing respiratory Illnesses in low-pay and center pay countries.3 Hazard factors for persistent respiratory Sicknesses are normal: something like 2 billion individuals are presented to the poisonous impacts of biomass fuel use, 1 billion are presented to open air contamination, and 1 billion are smokers who uncover a close equivalent greatness of individuals to the evil impacts of recycled smoke[7]. Every year, it is assessed that 4 million individuals bite the dust rashly from constant respiratory Diseases.5 Albeit word-related respiratory circumstances are a very much described risk factor, their extent is badly characterized; based on the couple of investigations that exist, around 2 million business related passings every year are assessed to happen in light of business related openings pertinent to respiratory circumstances[8].

DISCUSSION

In the present study total of 200 cases of COPD were enrolled from August  2022 to February 2024. patients who are previously diagnosed with chronic respiratory diseases based on clinical features, spirometry, and blood investigation in the Department of Respiratory Medicine in the School of Excellence in Pulmonary Medicine (sepm), Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Medical College  & Hospital, Jabalpur (M.P) after taking ethical clearance from Institutional  Ethical Committee who visited OPD.

 

All patient visits in OPD were analyzed with all parameters included in the inclusion criteria. A statistically significant difference (p-value <0.5) was found in age distribution, gender distribution, weight distribution, spirometry parameters, blood investigation, urine analysis, glomerular filtration rate, and creatinine clearance[9-10].

 

In the present study patient age group was the statical significant difference was found (p-value < 0.5). in the study, the maximum number of cases were in the age group of 50-60 and 60-70 years. the finding was similar to the study which was done by Ibrahim I. Elmahallawy et al 2013 their study included 300 COPD patients matured 65.28 ±6.32 years They were signed up for the review during their subsequent visits to the short-term center of the Chest Division, Menoufiya College Emergency clinics from August 2009 to August 2012. The GFR was assessed and patients were arranged by their renal capability as having typical renal capability (GFR P60 mL/min/1.73 m2), covered CRF (typical serum creatinine and GFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2), or clear CRF (expanded serum creatinine and GFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2) [11].

 

Spo2 on room air: 88-92% (83.5%), >92% (8.5%), <88% (5%). The majority of patients were determined to be within the normal range, with 5% falling outside of it. The p-value for the statistically significant difference was 0.049801.

 

In the present study prevalence of irregularity in blood urea was analysed. according to blood urea range <40 mg/dl (37.5%), 40 – 100mg/dl (62%), 100-150mg/dl (0.5%), >150mg/dl (0%). A statical significant difference was present (p-value-<0.05). this study was similar to a study which was done by Mohit Bhatia, J.K. Samaria, Shubham Agarwal, and Pradeep Niral. They evaluated 100 cases of COPD[12].  All included patients were evaluated for renal function with the help of serum urea, serum creatinine, and Glomerular filtration rate estimation using the Cockcroft- Gault formula.  In their study, they found that 36% of patients had raised creatinine levels (>1.2mg/dl) while 48% had raised urea levels (>40mg/dl). 8% of patients had severely reduced GFR, 46 % of patients had a moderate reduction in GFR and only 30% of patients had normal GFR.

CONCLUSION

patients with obstructive pattern FEV1, 91% in the moderate category and 9% in the severe category was significant in renal dysfunction, and fair relationships were found.

 

In the current study of spirometry patients with obstructive pattern FEF25-75%, 67.5% of patients were found in the moderate category and 23% in the severe category which is a more significant and fair relationship with renal dysfunction. Serum creatinine estimation of more than 7% of patients found slightly deranged in COPD patients correlate with other parameters which are studied in this study was significant in renal dysfunction. Age distribution in our current study fair association found in age >60yr  with renal dysfunction assessment.
