Assessemnt of the Knoweldge ,Attitudes and Practices of Diabetic Kidney Disease Among Diabetic Patients
Overview
This research aims to evaluate the levels of knowledge , attitudes and practices, of diabetic kidney disease among diabetic patients.
Detailed description
Diabetic kidney disease is defined as patients with diabetes mellitus who have persistent proteinuria for at least three consecutive measurements per year, or a decrease in GFR (\<90 ml/min/1.73m²) .Diabetic kidney disease is a severe microvascular complication frequently associated with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, is a leading cause of renal failure. The condition can also lead to accelerated cardiovascular disease and macrovascular complications.
In Egypt, DM is a dilemma and a fast-expanding concern. According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), the prevalence of DM among Egyptian adults is 15.2%, which may be an underestimation.Public awareness, knowledge, and preventive practices are crucial in mitigating the onset and progression of diabetic nephropathy. Gaining insights into the general population's awareness, knowledge, attitudes, and practices (A-KAP) pertaining to this condition is crucial for the development of effective educational campaigns and preventative strategies.
