Abstract: Objective To study the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) among patients with bronchial asthma in Zhengzhou.Methods A total of 655 patients (older than 14years) were interviewed and received physical,uria and blood examination.Bronchial asthma and CKD were diagnosed according to related definition.Results The prevalence of albuminuria,hematuria,reduced eGFR and CKD was 9.41%,10.37%,3.03% and 17.38% respectively in the above special patients,which was higher than that of the general population.Women had higher prevalence of CKD than men (21.47% vs 13.99%,χ2=6.060,P=0.014).Prevalence of 1 to 5 stage of CKD was 8.61%,5.10%,3.03%,0.48% and 0.16% respectively.In the acute phase of asthma,prevalence of CKD (24.42%) was significantly higher than that in chronic duration and clinical remission period (χ2=12.445,P=0.002) and the same significant differences were found in albuminuria and reduced eGFR (χ2=19.619,P＜0.01 and χ2=9.305,P=0.010).Conclusion The bronchial asthma patients have higher incidence of renal damage and should be estimated,especially in the acute phase.
