Several epidemiological peculiarities of incidence of glomerular and tubulointerstitial kidney diseases and urinary tract infections among the population of the Altai krai

Introduction. Glomerular and tubulointerstitial kidney diseases (GTKD) are among the most common in the Russian Federation and appear to be one of the factors leading to the decrease of the quality of life and disability. The aim of the study is to evaluate the current epidemiological situation regarding the incidence of GRKD and urinary tract infections (UTI) among children and adults living in the Altai Krai over the period of 2007-2016. Materials and methods. We performed a retrospective analysis of GTKD and UTI morbidity using the information from the form №12 “Data on the disease incidence in patients living within the access of a healthcare provider”. From this form, we used the chapter “Diseases of the genitourinary system”, particularly, class (N00-N08) - glomerular diseases, class (N10-N16) - renal tubulo-interstitial diseases and class (N30-N39) - other diseases of urinary system. Overall, there were 704520 cases of these diseases registered over the period of 2007-2016. Results and discussion. Retrospective analysis aimed at investigating the incidence of GTKD and UTI has concluded that these diseases pose a significant problem for the region, since the morbidity level of GRKD in the Altai Krai was higher than the mean level in Russia since 2007. The incidence of the disease among adults was higher than in children in the Altai Krai, as well as in Russia. According to the data obtained from urological departments of hospitals in the Altai Krai, the increase of the incidence of such infectious/inflammatory diseases, as pyelonephritis and acute cystitis by 11.26% and 5.5%, respectively, was reported. The rate of chronic pyelonephritis and chronic cystitis decreased by 14.7% and 1.73%, respectively. The annual UTI morbidity among urban population was 2.6-fold higher than among rural (p
