What is Underreporting of chronic kidney disease according to laboratory criteria of Brazilian adults about?
## Abstract ## Background This is the first study in Brazil that evaluates the prevalence of low renal function in the Brazilian population and associated factors, using biochemical measures. ## Methods This is a cross-sectional household-based epidemiological survey, the National Health Survey (PNS), conducted in 2014 and 2015. The explanatory variables were: sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyles, chronic diseases, anthropometry. The prevalence of kidney filtration rate (KFR) <60 ml / min / 1.73m2 was estimated, using Poisson regression to calculate the Prevalence Ratio Adjusted (RPaj) by age and gender. ## Results The prevalence of low renal function was 6.48% (95% CI 5.88-7.09). After adjusting remained associated: female (RPaj 1.4 CI (95% 1.16-1.68), age 45-59 years was RPaj = 7.3 (95% CI 3.8-14.1), 60 years or older RPaj = 33.6 (95% CI 17.8- 63.4), obesity RP 1.32 (95% CI 1.1-1.7), diabetes PR = 1.4 (95% CI 1.2-1.8), poor / very poor self-rated health PR = 1.5 (95% CI 1.2-1.9). ## Conclusions Renal function <60 ml / min / 1.73m2 was higher in females, increased with age, was associated with obesity, diabetes and poorer health assessment.
