ABSTRACT
CKD (chronic kidney disease) is a general term for heterogenous disorders affecting kidney structure and its function. It is defined as either kidney damage or a decreased glomerular filtration rate of less than 60ml/min/73m2 for 3 or more months. This is a prospective cross- sectional study with the aim to describe the drug prescribed and compare the drug utilization pattern in diabetic and nondiabetic patients having chronic kidney disease admitted in the government tertiary care teaching hospital mandya. The present study has been conducted on male and female patients who were satisfying the inclusion criteria. A suitably designed case record form was prepared and used to record all the necessary and relevant data from the medical records of patients. A total of 100 patients were analysed in our study out of that, 59% patients were having CKD with DM and 41% patients were not having DM. from the study we found that patient with age group 51-60 and 61-70 years are more prone to renal failure. The prescription of drugs for CKD patients having DM + others were OHA (12%), and insulin (15%), anti-hypertensive drugs (40%), lipid lowering agents (9%), Haemopoietic agent (7.3%) and Vitamins (10%). The prescription of drugs for CKD with non diabetic patients also same as diabetic with others except OHA and insulin. Most of the CKD patients are suffered from DM (59%) Than the HTN (41%) So we can improve the patient quality of life by monitoring and controlling the risk factors like HTN and DM that can reduce the risk of renal failure condition.
Keywords: CKD patients, DM, HTN, OHA, Anti hypertensive drugs.
