Kidney disease does not just appear in someone. There are a number of factors that can affect a person with the disease. Among them are education and profession.
Data from the Ministry of Health said that as many as 0.4 percent of the people who did not receive education became the highest group of people with kidney failure. Profession of fishermen, laborers, farmers and entrepreneurs occupy a higher percentage of 30 percent than employees.
However, the data also states that 0.6 percent of patients with kidney failure are the age group 75 years to 75 years and above.
Head of the Ministry of Health's Blood Vessel Heart Disease Subdistrict, Dr. Zamhir Setiawan, M.Epid, said that the biggest factor that causes 37% of kidney failure is hypertension, 27% due to diabetes mellitus, 10% congenital abnormalities, 7% urinary tract blockage, 1 percent uric acid and 1 percent due to lupus.
"There are many factors that cause kidney failure because of the impact of other diseases,"
Zamhir said that in 2015 almost 1.3 million people were affected by chronic kidney failure.
To anticipate the increasing prevalence of kidney failure, Zamhir said, socialization of the importance of healthy living must be encouraged. A number of programs are also planned for this such as village healthy houses, community empowerment and cross-sector involvement.
"Empowerment of the community concerning households, schools, workplaces, pilgrims, terminals and public places must be improved," he said
