| Popis: | INTRODUCTION: Renal disorders are becoming increasingly common today. There is a clear correlation between social and economic deprivation and the advancement of many kidney illnesses, as well as premature death. OBJECTIVE: The objective is to reveal trends in the prevalence of renal diseases among the population below the poverty line (BPL) using the Karnataka method. METHODS: The current study is based on the data available on the government-managed website containing details about people who received treatment for several renal diseases under various government health insurance schemes by the BPL population from 2010 to 2020 in Karnataka state, South India. RESULTS: Renal calculi, enlarged prostate, and bladder calculus are the most common renal disorders among BPL communities in the age group of 20–40 years. Regarding renal calculi, there is a consistent increase in cases from 563 in 2010–2011 to a peak of 3901 in 2020–2021, indicating a continuous upward trend. Fluctuations are observed in the case of an enlarged prostate, with variations in the number of cases each passing year. Bladder calculus disease also shows an increasing trend, particularly evident from 2017 to 2018 onward. CONCLUSION: This study found the potential relationship between socioeconomic status and renal diseases among individuals in the BPL segment of Karnataka state. Renal disorders such as calculi, renal failure, and chronic kidney disease exhibit a rising trend over time, whereas diseases such as enlarged prostate and bladder calculus display fluctuations. The findings underscore the urgent necessity for targeted healthcare interventions and awareness programs tailored to BPL communities. |
