Tuberculosis remains as a major global health issue and chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an emerging global epidemic. Presence of CKD and a low glomerular filtration rate (GFR) require modifications in anti-tuberculosis drug dosage. This study was designed to evaluate the prevalence of CKD stage 4 and non-dialysis dependent stage 5 (CKD stages 4 and 5ND) among patients diagnosed with tuberculosis.
This cross-sectional study was done at BIRDEM General Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh over a period of seven years (2018 – 2024). Tuberculosis was diagnosed as per the Bangladesh National Guidelines for Tuberculosis Infection Control, 2011. Diagnosis and staging of CKD was done following the KDIGO 2012 Clinical Practice Guideline for the Evaluation and Management of Chronic Kidney Disease.
Total number of patients were 2625 with male (1675, 63.8%) predominance. Most (2003, 76.3%) patients were diabetic, 814 (31%) were smokers and 237 (9%) had a past history of tuberculosis. Diabetic patients were older than non-diabetic patients (mean age, 49.6 ± 13.2 vs 31.1 ± 16.9 years, p < 0.05) and had a higher body mass index (BMI) (21.1 ± 4.1 vs 20.4 ± 4.9 kg/m2, p < 0.05). Total 1756 (66.9%) patients had pulmonary tuberculosis (1468/2003, 73.3% in diabetic and 288/622, 46.3% in non-diabetic patients, p<0.05). A total of 49 (1.87%) patients had CKD stages 4 and 5ND, 43 (43/2003, 2.1%) in diabetic and 6 (6/622, 0.96%) in non-diabetic patients (p 0.85).
Almost 2% of patients with tuberculosis had CKD stages 4 and 5ND and the prevalence was two times more common among diabetic patients compared to non-diabetic patients.
