Background.
Chronic kidney disease is a global health problem with serious adverse effects, including kidney failure, cardiovascular disease, and premature death.
Improving awareness and practice on the impact, prevention, and early detection of chronic kidney disease will reduce the significant economic and public health burden.
Methods.
A cross-sectional study was conducted to determine knowledge and practice towards prevention and early detection of chronic kidney disease and its associated factors among hypertensive patients in Gondar town in 2019.
The study included hypertensive patients visiting health institutions from February to March 2019.
Data was collected using a semistructured questionnaire and individuals who fulfilled our inclusion criteria were selected using a systemic random sampling technique.
Epi Info software version 7 was used for data entry, and SPSS version 20 was used for descriptive and logistic regression analysis.
Result.
Out of a total of 442 participants, 434 completed the questionnaire, with a response rate of 98.1%.
Of the total, 298 (68.7%) had good knowledge of chronic kidney disease with a mean knowledge score of 8.78 ± 2.80 and 210 (48.4%) had good practice with mean practice score of 6.58 ± 1.61.
Educational status, residence, and duration of hypertension were significantly associated with the knowledge and practice scores of the participants in the multivariate logistic regression analysis.
Conclusion.
More than half of the participants had good knowledge about chronic kidney disease and its risk factors.
However, the level of preventive practice among participants was low.
The educational status, residence, and duration of hypertension were significantly associated variables with knowledge and practice scores in multivariate logistic regression.
