About this study

Diabetic kidney disease is defined as patients with diabetes mellitus who have persistent proteinuria for at least three consecutive measurements per year, or a decrease in GFR (<90 ml/min/1.73m²) .Diabetic kidney disease is a severe microvascular complication frequently associated with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, is a leading cause of renal failure. The condition can also lead to accelerated cardiovascular disease and macrovascular complications.

In Egypt, DM is a dilemma and a fast-expanding concern. According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), the prevalence of DM among Egyptian adults is 15.2%, which may be an underestimation.Public awareness, knowledge, and preventive practices are crucial in mitigating the onset and progression of diabetic nephropathy. Gaining insights into the general population's awareness, knowledge, attitudes, and practices (A-KAP) pertaining to this condition is crucial for the development of effective educational campaigns and preventative strategies.

Primary outcomes

evaluation of the knowledge, attitude and practice of chronic kidney disease among the diabetic patients through a questionnaire

Time frame: Baseline

CKD screening index, which is divided into three different scales. The knowledge scale consists of 24 items regarding general knowledge of CKD, including its definition, risk factors, signs, symptoms, and complications. The attitudes scale, composed of 15 items, was used to assess the attitudes of diabetic patients toward CKD signs and symptoms and the ability to seek appropriate social and medical help related to their concerns. The practice score consists of 12 items that evaluate the health practices of each patient to prevent CKD. The validity and reliability of this screening index were examined and guaranteed and used in its arabic edition in another study .

The correct answer was given one point, zero points for an incorrect answer, a Therefore, more correct answers meant greater knowledge of DM.
