The HelloKidney.ai pilot project has reported that 60% of diabetes patients enrolled in the study exhibit some form of kidney ailment

HelloKidney.ai, in collaboration with the National Health Mission-Government of Andhra Pradesh, has recently initiated a screening project. This project aims to facilitate early detection and standardized treatment of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).
The HelloKidney.ai pilot project, conducted in collaboration with the National Health Mission-Government of Andhra Pradesh, has yielded significant findings regarding chronic kidney disease (CKD) among diabetes and hypertension patients. Here are the key outcomes and details from the project:
1.Prevalence of CKD: Approximately 60% of diabetes patients screened were found to have some form of kidney ailment. Among the diabetes patients screened, 26% were diagnosed with silent and previously unknown advanced kidney disease.
2.Scope and Screening Efforts: The project focused on early detection and standardized treatment of CKD at primary health centers (PHCs). Over a span of three months, 2,070 individuals were screened for CKD using mobile health applications and diagnostic tools. Screening efforts targeted high-risk groups, including diabetes patients, hypertension patients, and those with a history of cardiovascular diseases.
3.Regional Impact: Screening efforts were concentrated in the Uddanam region of Srikakulam district and A. Konduru mandal of NTR district, known hotspots for CKD. Many cases were identified and managed at urban PHCs in Guntur and Mangalagiri.
4.Statistics and Conditions: Out of 983 diabetes patients screened at urban PHCs, 70% were confirmed to have CKD. Additionally, 60% of all diabetes patients screened across various locations were found to have kidney disease. The screening also identified 686 patients with hypertension and 142 patients classified as obese (BMI > 30).
5.Impact and Future Directions: The initiative utilizes HelloKidney.ai as a digital health tool to facilitate screening, diagnosis, and management of early kidney diseases. It helps primary care physicians adhere to KDIGO guideline-directed treatments, thereby aiming to prevent kidney failure and improve patient outcomes within primary healthcare settings.
This pilot project underscores the importance of early intervention and integrated digital health solutions in combating chronic kidney disease, particularly among high-risk populations in Andhra Pradesh.
