[Identification of risk factors for chronic kidney disease among schoolchildren]. / Identificando fatores de risco para desenvolvimento de Doença Renal Crônica entre escolares.

Aiming at identifying risk factors for chronic kidney disease (CKD) among schoolchildren, a cross-sectional population study was carried out in six municipal schools in Goiânia, Brazil. We investigated: history of birthweight, enuresis, urinary incontinence, mictional urgency, family history of kidney disease, diabetes, arterial hypertension, percentiles of arterial blood pressure, waist circumference and body mass index (BMI). We evaluated 274 children, mean age of 8.06 ± 1.33 years, among which 139 (50.7%) were female. We detected: enuresis in 50 (18.2%); urinary incontinence in 34 (12.4%); mictional urgency in 49 (17.9%); BMI above P85 in 18.8% (45); waist circumference above P90 in 17 (6.9%); arterial blood pressure above P95 in 17 (7.1%). Also, we observed correlation between arterial blood pressure, obesity, and increased waist circumference, (p < 0.05). The study showed high frequency of abnormal voiding habits and increased BMI in this population.

Com o objetivo de avaliar a frequência de fatores de risco para doença renal e suas correlações, foi realizado estudo transversal de base populacional em seis escolas municipais de Goiânia (GO). Nós investigamos a história de baixo peso ao nascer, enurese, incontinência urinária, urgência miccional, antecedente familiar de doença renal, diabete, hipertensão arterial, percentil de pressão arterial, perímetro da cintura e índice de massa corporal (IMC). Foram avaliadas 274 crianças, das quais 139 (50,7%) eram meninas, com idade de 8,06 ± 1,33 anos. Observou-se enurese em 50 (18,2%), incontinência urinária em 34 (12,4%) e urgência em 49 (17,9%). O IMC apresentava-se, em 18,8% (45), acima de P85. Perímetro de cintura acima do percentil 90 em 6,9% (17). Pressão arterial foi detectada acima do P95, em 7,1% (17). Também notamos a presença de correlação da pressão arterial com a obesidade e aumento da circunferência da cintura (p < 0,05). O estudo demonstrou elevada frequência de alterações do hábito miccional e aumento do IMC na população estudada.
