Resumo
Aiming at identifying risk factors for
chronic kidney disease (CKD) among
schoolchildren, a cross-sectional population study was carried out in six municipal schools in Goiânia, Brazil. We
investigated: history of birthweight, enuresis, urinary incontinence, mictional
urgency, family history of kidney disease, diabetes, arterial hypertension,
percentiles of arterial blood pressure,
waist circumference and body mass index (BMI). We evaluated 274 children,
mean age of 8.06 ± 1.33 years, among
which 139 (50.7%) were female. We detected: enuresis in 50 (18.2%); urinary
incontinence in 34 (12.4%); mictional
urgency in 49 (17.9%); BMI above P85
in 18.8% (45); waist circumference
above P90 in 17 (6.9%); arterial blood
pressure above P95 in 17 (7.1%). Also,
we observed correlation between arterial
blood pressure, obesity, and increased
waist circumference, (p < 0.05). The
study showed high frequency of abnormal voiding habits and increased BMI in
this population.
