Abstract

BACKGROUND: There is a paucity of information on kidney education and screening programs in Indian youth.

METHODS: Participants (n=2,158) from Chennai colleges were educated about the kidneys and chronic kidney disease (CKD) and screened in a pilot program from April to May 2013. This entailed: 1) a presentation and educational video and 2) an on-site assessment of weight, blood pressure, and demographic information. Urinalysis (UA) kits were distributed and returned in ≤48 hours. We examined participant characteristics and their association with dipstick proteinuria using logistic regression.

RESULTS: The mean (standard deviation [SD]) age was 18.9 (1.6) years, and 1,451 (68%) were men. Mean (SD) body mass index (BMI) was 21.9 (4.3) kg/m

CONCLUSION: This education and screening pilot program in a population of college students offers unique opportunities for identification, education, and early intervention for CKD.
