    Background Hypertension is one of the major causes of related maternal deaths worldwide and it is one of the most common medical disorders encountered during pregnancy. Aim This study aimed at assessing the demographic and medical characteristics of hypertensive pregnant women in two secondary healthcare facilities, in Ilorin, Nigeria Method This was a cross-sectional study among 104 pregnant women with hyper tension attending the outpatient department of General Hospital and Civil Service Clinic, Ilorin between March and May 2021. A validated self-administered questionnaire was used to obtain information on sociodemographics. Data on the medical character istics of the respondents and their medications were extracted from the respondent’s medical files. Ethical approval was obtained from the Ministry of Health and General Hospital, Ilorin. For statistical analysis for categorical measurements, the frequencies and percentages were computed. Results Seventy-five percent of the correspondents were below 36 years old, 97% were married, 79% had tertiary education, and 74% were above 24 weeks of gestation. About 68% of the correspondents had blood pressure more than or equal to 140/90 and 10% had blood pressure more than 160 mm Hg systolic or more than 100 mm Hg diastolic. About 78.8% of the correspondents had a family history of hypertension, 13.5% had a family history of diabetes mellitus, and 22.1% had a family history of obesity. About 27.9% had pre-existing hypertension, 61.5% developed hypertension before the end of 20 weeks of gestation, and 10.6% developed hypertension after 20 weeks of gestation. About 24% had their antihypertensive medication changed during pregnancy, 38.5% were treated with methyldopa, 31.7% with nifedipine, and 27% with nifedipine and methyldopa. Majority (83.6%) of the respondents were not adherent to their medications. Conclusion Two-third of the patients had poor blood pressure control irrespective of the fact that all were under drug therapy. Family history and large body mass index are the main risk factors for the development of hypertension during pregnancy. Non-compliance may play a significant role in no drug response

    , Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a public health problem that is associated with adverse outcomes of kidney failure, diseases of the cardiovascular system and untimely death. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of chronic kidney disease in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients and to determine kidney staging on the basis of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) values. One hundred and twenty (120) patients were recruited for the study (mean age 54.7 ±14.701). This study was a prospective cross sectional study among out-patients with Diabetes mellitus in north central Nigeria. A validated questionnaire was used to capture socio-demographics. Informed consent was obtained from each patient and blood samples were collected in an EDTA vacutainer, after which the blood samples were sent to PATHCARE diagnostic center, to determine the serum creatinine and eGFR levels. Most of the subjects were female (75.0%) while only 25.0% were males. More than one half(67.5%) of the subjects have Stage I, 21.7% have Stage 2, 7.5% were on Stage 3, 1.7% on Stage 4 and 1.7% of the subjects have Stage 5 kidney disease. The prevalence of CKD among the type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients studied was 10.8%. There is a need for studies with larger sample size. Routine eGFR assessment after 3 months in subjects with eGFR less than 60 mL/min/1.7 m2 should be emphazised

    (Libyan International Medical University, Libya., 2024-02-16) Aliyu, Fullaila Onozare; Orimogunje, Timothy; Bello, Shakirat Iyabo; Abdulbaki, M.; Jamiu, Muslim Olakunle; Ogaji, Ikoni J.
    Abstract Background Patients with diabetes mellitus have an increased risk of developing dyslipidemia, predisposing them to macro- and microvascular consequences such as coronary heart disease. Aim The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of dyslipidemia, drug therapy problems (DTPs), and medication adherence in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients in a tertiary hospital in North Central Nigeria. Method This study was a cross-sectional convenient sampling of eligible patients conducted in the General Outpatient Department of General Hospital, Ilorin, from March to May 2022. A validated questionnaire was administered to obtain all relevant information on sociodemographic information, and blood samples were collected in a medium plain heparinized tube and sent to the laboratory where fasting blood sugar, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) values were calculated as appropriate. Morisky’s Medication Adherence Scale 8 (MMAS-8) was used to capture patient’s adherence level, and DTP was assessed using the Pharmaceutical Care Network Europe (PCNE) Criteria version 7. Ethical approval was obtained from the Ministry of Health, Ilorin. Statistical Package for Social Sciences was used to analyze the data collected for descriptive and inferential statistics. Results The mean age of the respondents was 60 0.7 years. Of the 60 respondents, 25 (41.67%) were males and 35 (58.33%) were females. All the respondents had dyslipidemia, 30% respondents were identified with a DTP of nonadherence, 16.7% needed additional drug/monitoring, dosage was too low in 11.7%, and 11.6% could not afford their medications due to high cost. In all, 45 (75%) respondents had poor sugar control and 33 (55%) had poor blood pressure control. Using MMAS-8, the majority (41, [68.30%]) of the respondents were found to have poor adherence to their diabetic medications. Conclusion High prevalence of dyslipidemia, poor medication adherence, and DTPs were found in the T2DM patients in this study
