PREVALENCE OF MARKERS OF CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE IN PATIENTS WITH ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION: RESULTS OF EPIDEMIOLOGICAL STUDY CHRONOGRAF

In an noninterventional observational open multicenter program CHRONOGRAF the prevalence of markers of chronic kidney disease (CKD) was studied in 1600 patients with arterial hypertension with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was calculated (CKD-EPI formula) and albuminuria (AU) was determined as albumin/creatinine (A/Cr) ratio in the morning portion of urine. In 49.4% of patients decreased GFR <60 ml/min/1.73 m(2) and/or A/Cr >30 mg/g was detected. Decrease of GFR <60 ml/min/ 1.73 m(2) was found in 34.8% of patients, albuminuria >30 mg/g - in 32.6%, combination of reduced GFR and high/very high AU - in 18%. High or very high level of combined risk of progression to CKD and cardiovascular complications had 28.5% of patients.
