Abstract titles should be brief and reflect the content of the abstract.
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a progressive and asymptomatic
condition, often diagnosed at advanced stages. In this context, laboratory monitoring of
biomarkers plays a crucial role in prevention and early treatment. The main risk factors
include Body Mass Index (BMI), lifestyle, waist circumference, and other comorbidities such
as Hypertension (HTN) and Diabetes Mellitus (DM). During the 2025 World Kidney Day
(WKD) campaign, organized by an Academic Nephrology League, clinical and laboratory
screening was performed on volunteers to raise awareness about CKD and its
complications, aiming to prevent disease progression and delayed diagnosis.
A clinical study was conducted using data collected
during the WKD campaign held at a university in São Paulo (Brazil). Data were obtained
from volunteers, including university students and institutional staff. Participants completed a
questionnaire addressing demographic data, medical history, and lifestyle habits. Blood
pressure (BP), capillary blood glucose, weight, height, waist circumference, BMI, capillary
serum creatinine, and urinalysis were measured.
A total of 104 volunteers were evaluated, with a mean age of 30.50 ± 15.15
years, predominantly women (76%). Sixteen volunteers were referred for specialized
follow-up due to elevated serum creatinine levels (> 1.1 mg/dL for women and > 1.3 mg/dL
for men). However, risk factors such as high BMI, increased waist circumference, and
positive personal or family history highlight the urgent need for lifestyle modification. The
mean BMI was 27.5 ± 5.59 kg/m²
, and the mean waist circumference was 93.8 ± 14.62 cm.
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) was observed in 7.7% and Systemic Arterial Hypertension
(SAH) in 11% of participants. Regarding family history (FH), 50% reported T2DM, 69.3%
reported SAH, and 13.5% reported kidney disease. Additionally, 12% were smokers and
30.7% reported alcohol consumption, primarily beer
Although laboratory evaluation is essential for CKD diagnosis and
staging, assessing risk factors is equally relevant for prevention through lifestyle
modification. Considering that the mean BMI indicates overweight, the mean waist
circumference is elevated—especially among women—and that personal and family
comorbidities are frequent, it is necessary to reinforce health education and encourage
lifestyle changes such as regular physical activity, balanced diet, and reduction of smoking
and alcohol consumption. Managing underlying conditions significantly reduces the
incidence of new CKD cases
