Bubrežna bolest u ženaKidney disease in women

Iva Kurjaković, Ingrid Prkačin, Vesna Đermanović-Dobrota, Nives Dabo

Kronična bubrežna bolest sve je učestalija na globalnoj razni. Kroničnoj bubrežnoj bolesti pridaje se sve više značaja, kao i povezanosti kronične bubrežne bolesti i kardiovaskularnoga pobolijevanja. Međutim, nedovoljna se pozornost obraća na žensku populaciju, iako je rizik za razvoj kronične bubrežne bolesti veći u žena, a sve je veća smrtnost žena od kardiovaskularnih bolesti. Svjedočimo nedovoljnoj primjeni mjera prevencije kardiovaskularnih bolesti u žena. Uzrok je dijelom neprepoznavanje problema, ali i nedovoljna primjena mjera preventivne medicine u ženskoj populaciji općenito. Nužno je osvijestiti problem i uložiti dodatne napore u provedbu pravodobne dijagnostike i adekvatno praćenje bubrežne bolesti u žena.

Ključne riječi:
kardiovaskularni rizik; kronična bubrežna bolest; ženski spol

The incidence of chronic kidney disease is on the rise globally. Chronic kidney disease is becoming increasingly important, as is the relationship between chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular disease. However, insufficient attention is paid to the female population, although the risk of developing chronic kidney disease is higher in women and the mortality from cardiovascular disease in women has been increasing. We are witnessing an under-implementation of cardiovascular disease prevention measures in women. The cause is partly the lack of recognition of the problem, but also the general lack of application of preventive medicine measures in the female population. It is necessary to raise awareness of the problem and to make additional efforts in the implementation of timely diagnostics and adequate monitoring of kidney disease in women.

Key words:
cardiovascular disease; chronic kidney disease; female gender
