| Popis: |
The incidence and prevalence of end-stage renal disease increased steadily for 35 years in the population of Italy's Mantua province until the end of 2007, when they started to decrease. We describe the results of providing information and raising awareness among residents of the province's capital, Mantua, and of direct teaching and short training courses in hospital wards for general practitioners over a period of 3 years. During this period there was also more consultation activity for all kidney outpatients, from the first to the last stages of chronic kidney disease. Clinical data collected by the local NHS section (ASL) showed an increase in age and comorbidities (mainly type 2 diabetes) in kidney patients. As a result of the preventive measures, there has been an effective reduction of the yearly incidence and prevalence for all kinds of treatment, with the exception of kidney transplants, which have increased progressively during the last years. |
