Article Synopsis
- Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is linked to hypertension (HBP), with a significant number of people with HBP remaining undiagnosed, especially in developing countries like Senegal.
- A study in northern Senegal assessed CKD prevalence among three groups: normotensive, diagnosed hypertension, and undiagnosed hypertension, involving over 2,400 individuals aged 18-80.
- The findings revealed that 52% had HBP and 17.8% had CKD, with undiagnosed hypertensive patients having a notably high rate of CKD, particularly in older women.
Introduction: High salt intake is a major risk factor for hypertension and its complications such as chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cardiovascular diseases. The present study aimed to determine level of sodium consumption and its relation with kidney function in the rural populations of Ferlo (centre of Senegal).
Subjects And Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study including 400 volunteers aged > 18 years.

- * It involved 65 patients on hemodialysis, using a clinical scoring system that took into account age, cardiopulmonary health, functional status, and metabolic factors to predict risk of severe adverse events.
- * Results indicated that 63.8% of the patients were at high risk for complications in the first year after transplantation, which could aid in better informing potential donors and recipients about their health outlook.
We report the case of a 65-year old patient without a history of alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking but with a history of gastrœsophageal reflux disease for which he had never been examined. He was admitted to the Department of Pneumology for exploration of a dry hacking cough causing insomnia associated with diffuse heaviness in his right chest evolving over a month in a context of evening and night fever without weight loss. Clinical and radiological examination showed right pleural effusion syndrome.
