Management of pre-end stage renal failure in egypt

Abstract EN

A specially designed questionnaire was used to explore the predominant trends of pre-end stage renal failure in Egypt.

A random sample of 47 physicians dealing with such patients was chosen to fill the questionnaire during a recent scientific gathering.

They were of different ages, qualifications, years of experience and health-care disciplines.

Collected data were entered into a computer database and subjected to statistical analysis and correlation with relevant physician's backgrounds.

The study shows that the Egyptian trends are generally conforming to respective international recommendations ; major deviations being largely the result of economical shortcomings.

There was no significant impact of physician-related factors on patient management trends.
