[Clinical epidemiologic assessment of the incidence of chronic kidney diseases registered in Romania, Iaşi County, in the years of 2004-2008].
Authors present the results of a study carried out in Iaşi County and Romania, comparatively, between 2004-2008, in order to know the incidence of the main chronic kidney diseases (CKDs) (nephritic syndrome and nephrosis, chronic renal failure, kidney and urinary lithiasis) and those with a major role in their etiology (essential arterial hypertension--EAHT and diabetes mellitus--DM).


RESULTS
The distribution of cases at the county and national level was assessed both for CKDs and EAHT and DM, respectively, by area, sex and age groups. Clinical epidemiological research highlighted high values of CKDs incidence, taking into account a defficiency in standardized data collecting, processing, and interpretation to allow a database useful for elaboration and implementation of prevention programmes.
