ABSTRACT

Objective: To determine the frequency of left ventricular hypertrophy among non-diabetics pre dialysis patients with chronic kidney disease.

Study Design: Descriptive cross-sectional study.

Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted at the DHQ Teaching Hospital Bannu from September 2017 to August 2018.

Materials and Methods: Patients with CKD were selected for study from out patients department of Nephrology under informed written consent. They were interviewed through a pre-designed research proforma. Base line BP, HR, height, Serum creatinine and RBS were recorded. Echocardiography was performed to detect and define LVH. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 16.

Results: A total of 931 CKD patients were screened to select 116 non diabetic patients. Mean age of 54.76 ±1.60 years. Male were 57.8%. Mean LVMI HR, SBP, DBP were121.89 ±31.06 gm/m2, 76.16 ± 12.04, 146.81±30.08 & 87.41 ±14.89, respectively. Both Systolic (r=0.534, p<0.0001) and diastolic BP (r=0.339, p< 0.0001) were significantly correlated to LVMI. Frequency of LVH was 73.27% (85) with almost similar distribution among Male 45 (52.94%) vs. Female 40 (47.05%). Majority 37.06% (43) were having Mild LVH. Hypertension was found in 69% (80). Patients with Mild LVH, Mod LVH & Severe LVH were having 76.7% (n, 33), 90% (n, 9), 90.6% (n, 29) hypertension. Of the 80 (69%) hypertensive patients, 09 (7.8%) had normal LVMI.

Conclusion: Left ventricular hypertrophy is frequently present among non-diabetics predialysis patients with chronic kidney disease.
