INTRODUCTION: Kidney diseases are a growing worldwide problem and one of the
major public health threats. We analyzed the spectrum of kidney diseases seen
over a five-year period in the nephrology in-patient unit of the Yaounde general
hospital. METHODS: This was a retrospective analysis of 225 medical records of
patients admitted from January 2005 to December 2009 in the unit with a discharge
diagnosis of kidney and urinary tract diseases. The first hospitalization was
considered for patients admitted several times for the same disease.
Socio-demographic and clinical patient data were recorded. RESULTS: The patients
mean age was 44.8±16 years with 135 (60%) males and 211 (93.8%) emergency
admissions. All 139 (61.8%) patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) had
chronic renal failure. Acute kidney injury (AKI) (28%), nephrotic syndrome
(7.6%), renal colic (1.3%) and acute pyelonephritis (1.3%) were other patterns
observed. Chronic glomerulonephritis (25.9%), hypertension (22.3%) and diabetes
(20.1%) were the main etiological factors of CKD. All AKI patients were in stage
RIFLE-F. AKI was secondary to parenchymal (58.7%), functional (25.4%) and
obstructive (15.9%) etiologies. Black water fever (36.4%), sepsis (22.7%), drugs
(18.2%), eclampsia (13.6%) and herbal concoctions (9.1%) were the etiologies of
acute tubular necrosis while enterocolitis (56.2%), heart failure (31.3%) and
digestive hemorrhage (12.5%) were the etiologies of functional AKI. CONCLUSION:
The clinical pattern of renal diseases is dominated by advanced CKD and AKI
secondary to preventable causes. This study suggests a need for an array of
actions including sensitization, continuous medical education and strengthening
of the health system.
