Chronic renal failure (CRF) represents a serious medical problem. Numerous studies have shown increased body mass index (BMI) as an independent risk factor when it comes to the occurrence and development of CRF.
The sample in our prospective study presents a total of 150 patients: 30 for each CRF stage (stages I-IV) and 30 patients in the control group. This study did not include patients in the terminal stage of chronic renal failure (stage V), as well as patients with newly diagnosed diabetes. Body mass index-BMI was calculated using the formula BMI=weight/height(2) (kg/m(2)). In accordance with the K/DOQI guidelines patients were divided into four CRF stages.
In our study there is a predominance of female patients. The mean age of patients was 55.43 years. Most of the patients had a BMI between 25 and 30 kg/m(2). We did not find significant correlation between BMI and the development or CRF.
We did not find correlation between increased body mass index (BMI) and the occurrence or development of CRF in persons without diabetes.
慢性肾衰竭（CRF）是一个严重的医学问题。众多研究表明，体重指数（BMI）升高是慢性肾衰竭发生和发展的一个独立危险因素。
我们前瞻性研究中的样本共有150名患者：慢性肾衰竭每个阶段（I - IV期）各30名，对照组30名患者。本研究未纳入慢性肾衰竭终末期（V期）患者以及新诊断的糖尿病患者。体重指数（BMI）采用公式BMI =体重/身高²（kg/m²）计算。根据美国肾脏病基金会（K/DOQI）指南，患者被分为四个慢性肾衰竭阶段。
在我们的研究中女性患者占多数。患者的平均年龄为55.43岁。大多数患者的BMI在25至30 kg/m²之间。我们未发现BMI与慢性肾衰竭的发展之间存在显著相关性。
我们未发现体重指数（BMI）升高与无糖尿病者慢性肾衰竭的发生或发展之间存在相关性。
