Abstract:
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic syndrome which is characterized by elevated level of glucose in the blood due to body’s inability to produce or respond to insulin. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) describe as the gradual decrease in kidney function. The kidney filters waste and excess fluids from the blood that excreted in the form of urine. Diabetic is a common cause for CKD. People who are suffering from diabetes cause kidney damage by various factors, including changes in kidney due to diabetes. The main aim of our study is to upgrade patient knowledge about DM and CKD and also to describe the prescribing pattern involved in it. OBJECTIVE: To describe prescribing pattern of drugs for diabetes patients with CKD and also for DM patients without CKD. METHODOLOGY: A cross-sectional study on 230 diabetes patients with and without CKD was enrolled from the Department of general medicine, MIMS Mandya. RESULTS: Out 230 patients, 111 suffered from diabetes with CKD and 119 suffered from diabetes without CKD. The study shows that the majority of the patients were prescribed with OHA (57%) rather than insulin (43%) in diabetes patients without CKD and insulin (53%) rather than OHA (47%) in diabetes patients with CKD. In our study, among OHA Metformin (36.54%) was most commonly prescribed drug in diabetes patients without CKD and Metformin + Glimipiride ( 34.83%) was most commonly prescribed drug in diabetes patients with CKD. Among insulin, short acting insulin (HUMAN ACTRAPID) was most commonly prescribed for diabetic patients without CKD (69%) and diabetic patients with CKD (64%). CONCLUSION: The study shows that in diabetes patients, developing a CKD is more common than in non-diabetic patients. So we can make better patient quality of life by monitoring and controlling the blood sugar level in diabetes patients, which can reduce the risk of CKD.
