TL;DR
In both males and females with chronic renal disease, hypertension was identified as the primary significant risk factor, however, compared to women, men are more likely to have hypertension as a risk factor for chronic renal disease.
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the different risk variables in Nellore patients with chronic renal disease. Method: From November 2025 to March 2026, a six-month prospective observational study was carried out. The patient's demographic chart and kidney health assessment questionnaire were used to gather the data, which was then examined using descriptive statistics. The chi-square test and correlation were used to determine the primary risk factor. Results: According to the current study, the main risk factor for both males and females is hypertension (p=0.0001), however other risk factors such diabetes, obesity, and alcohol use are also important. It was discovered that the average age of CKD patients was 46.24 for females and 49.02 for men. Conclusion: In both males and females with chronic renal disease, hypertension was identified as the primary significant risk factor. However, compared to women, men are more likely to have hypertension as a risk factor for chronic renal disease. These chronic kidney diseases are also influenced by other risk factors such diabetes mellitus, smoking, alcohol, obesity, hypotension, stroke, urinary tract infections, drug-induced nephrotoxicity, etc. The prevalence of end-stage renal disease can be decreased by identifying the main risk factors.
