Kidney diseases are often silent in their early stages and represent a significant burden on healthcare systems. Health fairs are a key strategy for early detection within the community. This study conducted a renal screening aimed at assessing the ultrasonographic characteristics of the population and exploring correlations among risk factors.
Cross-sectional, observational, and analytical study.
A total of 97 individuals were evaluated, with a mean age of 67.8 ± 10.6 years (range: 25–92). Females predominated (76.3%; n=74). The comorbidity burden was high: systemic arterial hypertension (39.2%; n=38), type 2 diabetes mellitus (36.1%; n=35), and both comorbidities simultaneously (17.5%; n=17). The mean serum creatinine level was 0.87 ± 0.33 mg/dL (n=47), with 12.4% (n=12) of participants showing elevated values (>1.2 mg/dL). Most participants (92.8%; n=90) did not present significant ultrasonographic findings. Pathological findings included: non-assessable kidney (4.1%; n=4), renal lithiasis (2.1%; n=2), hydronephrosis (1%; n=1), and renal cysts (1%; n=1). Ultrasound measurements revealed reduced renal size (Average Length: Right Kidney 8.76 cm; Left Kidney 8.66 cm). A total of 29.8% (n=29) required referral: General Medicine (16.4%; n=16), Nephrology/Nephrogeriatric Medicine (5.2%; n=5), Nephrology Triage (3.1%; n=3), Internal Medicine (2%; n=2), and Endocrinology (1%; n=1).
The screening identified a population with a high prevalence of renal risk factors and subclinical alterations, with more than 30% of individuals requiring referral to specialists. This figure is significantly higher than that reported in the literature, which typically ranges between 10% and 20%. These findings not only justify the urgent implementation of community-based interventions but also suggest that such strategies are currently underutilized. Therefore, it is essential to promote more frequent screening in at-risk populations to achieve early and timely detection.
