‘7m Pinoys have chronic kidney disease’ READ MORE:
In a media forum on Friday, Philippine Society of Nephrology fellow Dr. Vimar Luz said the figure is based on the extrapolation report of the National Kidney Institute from data collected since 2016.
“Only as few as 10 percent are diagnosed. This means our data of 7 million could be underestimated,” Luz said. The later stage of CKD could show symptoms like fatigue, lack of appetite, edema, nausea, vomiting, small amount of urine, lack of sleep, difficulty breathing, blood or protein in urine, rashes, and sexual function problems.
Individuals who have kidney disorders in the family, high blood sugar, high blood pressure, heart disease, are smoking, are overweight, or over 60 years old could be at risk of having CKD.
