Research Article: Chronic Kidney Disease Linked to Higher Incidence of Gastric Diseases
Abstract:
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and different gastric diseases by conducting a population-based retrospective analysis using National Inpatient Sample (NIS) data. A total of 7,159,694 patients diagnosed with gastric diseases with or without CKD were included, and the diagnoses of gastritis, gastric polyps, peptic ulcer disease (PUD), and Helicobacter pylori infection were based on ICD-10-CM codes. The study found a higher prevalence of gastritis and gastric polyps in patients with CKD compared to patients without CKD, especially in the late stages of CKD. After adjustment, patients with CKD also had a higher risk of developing these gastric diseases than patients without CKD. However, there was no significant association between all stages of CKD and PUD or Helicobacter pylori infection. These results underscored the importance of monitoring gastric health in patients with CKD.
Introduction:
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has had an increased prevalence over the past decade and, in a recent study in 2015–2018, was found to affect around 14.9% of US adults [1,2]. Etiologies of CKD can vary and can have lasting effects on the rate of progression, pathology, and severity of CKD [3]. Individuals with a past medical history of uncontrolled hypertension (HTN) or diabetes mellitus are at the highest risk of developing kidney disease with other common causes, including older age, heart disease, family history…
