Abstract
Introduction: This study focuses on the association between musculoskeletal disorders and chronic kidney disease (CKD), specifically end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Its primary objective is to explore the spectrum of musculoskeletal disorders and to identify their prevalence rates and symptoms within diverse CKD subpopulations.
Materials and methods: The screening process yielded 13 studies conducted in various countries and regions. These studies, employing designs such as cross-sectional, cohort, and clinical trials, focused on CKD patients across different stages, including early and late-stage CKD.
Results: The study revealed that musculoskeletal disorders are a considerable concern within the CKD population but are insufficiently explored among ESKD patients. Common musculoskeletal disorders identified include osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, fibromyalgia, carpopedal spasm, and chronic musculoskeletal pain syndrome. The prevalence of these disorders varied, with sub-group analysis revealing higher prevalence among hemodialysis patients compared to preand non-dialysis patients. While musculoskeletal pain remains consistent across CKD stages, potential confounding factors, such as palliative care settings and mobility issues warrant careful consideration.
Conclusion: The study underscores the importance of understanding and addressing musculoskeletal disorders in the CKD population, emphasizing the need for tailored interventions and future research endeavors.
期刊介绍:
Published since 1890 this journal originated as the Journal of the Straits Medical Association. With the formation of the Malaysian Medical Association (MMA), the Journal became the official organ, supervised by an editorial board. Some of the early Hon. Editors were Mr. H.M. McGladdery (1960 - 1964), Dr. A.A. Sandosham (1965 - 1977), Prof. Paul C.Y. Chen (1977 - 1987). It is a scientific journal, published quarterly and can be found in medical libraries in many parts of the world. The Journal also enjoys the status of being listed in the Index Medicus, the internationally accepted reference index of medical journals. The editorial columns often reflect the Association''s views and attitudes towards medical problems in the country. The MJM aims to be a peer reviewed scientific journal of the highest quality. We want to ensure that whatever data is published is true and any opinion expressed important to medical science. We believe being Malaysian is our unique niche; our priority will be for scientific knowledge about diseases found in Malaysia and for the practice of medicine in Malaysia. The MJM will archive knowledge about the changing pattern of human diseases and our endeavours to overcome them. It will also document how medicine develops as a profession in the nation. We will communicate and co-operate with other scientific journals in Malaysia. We seek articles that are of educational value to doctors. We will consider all unsolicited articles submitted to the journal and will commission distinguished Malaysians to write relevant review articles. We want to help doctors make better decisions and be good at judging the value of scientific data. We want to help doctors write better, to be articulate and precise.
