Abstract
Background: Musculoskeletal disorders are one of chronic kidney disease’s most common complications, potentially affecting an individual’s functional status and quality of life. A major concern of healthcare professionals caring for CKD patients is to improve their quality of life. Objective: The study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders in CKD patients. Patients and methods: The study was conducted on 100 patients aged 19-76 years with a CKD diagnosis according to Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria selected from the renal hemodialysis units, nephrology, and rheumatology outpatient clinics of Tanta University Hospitals. Musculoskeletal disorders were evaluated by the (COPCORD) Questionnaire. Data were collected including demographic, clinical, and laboratory data. Statistical analysis was carried out for all collected data using IBM, SPSS version 21. Statistical significance was determined at a P level ≤ 0.05. Results: Among 100 patients with CKD, there was a high prevalence of chronic musculoskeletal pain which was detected in 89.7% of patients in group II and 78.1% of patients in group I. 46.9% and 75% of patients in group I and group II respectively had radiological abnormalities detected by imaging studies. patients with associated risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus (DM), ischemic heart disease(IHD), abnormal Mineral and Bone Disease in CKD (CKD-MBD), and hyperuricemia are at increased risk for musculoskeletal disorders than others. Conclusion: This previous study suggested that musculoskeletal disorders are highly prevalent in CKD patients, so evaluating the prevalence will help in early management and improvement of quality of life.
