A Study to Analyse the Relation between Consanguineous Marriage and Type of Dialysis in Chronic Kidney Disease Subjects

Chronic kidney disease is a progressive condition characterised by structural and functional changes to the kidney due to various causes. Chronic kidney disease is defined as a reduction in kidney function, an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of less than 60 mL/min per 173 m, or markers of kidney damage, such as albuminuria, haematuria, or abnormalities detected through laboratory testing or imaging and that are present for at least 3 months. To understand how consanguineous marriages increase the prevalence of inherited genetic disorders, including CKD, due to higher chances of recessive gene inheritance. To assess the public health burden of CKD in populations with high rates of consanguineous marriages. To explore the prevalence of CKD in consanguineous marriages across different regions and cultural contexts. Aim of the study: A study to identify the co -relation of consanguineous marriage in chronic kidney disease. Objectives and Methodology: To study the relation between consanguineous marriage and Hemo dialysis in subjects with CKD; To study the relation between consanguineous marriage and Peritoneal dialysis in subjects with CKD. The correlation study was conducted on 90 subjects to identify if there is any relation between consanguineous marriage and chronic kidney disease. Results: There is no statistically significant association between the type of dialysis method (HD or PD) and consanguineous status (Consanguineous or Non Consanguineous). The distribution of patients between the two dialysis methods does not significantly differ based on whether they are consanguineous or non -consanguineous.
