Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major health problem Publicly available. We conducted a survey
of general practitioners (GPs) to better understand their vision of IRC. A validated questionnaire
was sent to a representative sample of 150 (40%) MG of Marrakech Haouz.Cent (66%) responded.
The age of GPs is less than 40 years: 13%, 40-50: 47%, more than 50: 40%. The exercise zone is
urban in 60% of the cases, rural: 40%. Seventy-five percent of GPs have a nephrology
correspondent with whom they have "good relationships" in 80% of the cases. Twenty-one percent
of GPs are sensitized to IRC intake. Seventy-five percent feel that the diagnosis of IRC is difficult.
Twenty percent know there are benchmarks. Systematic screening is performed in the event of
hypertension: 95%, diabetes: 99%, older than 65 years: 60%, urinary infection: 30%, haematuria /
proteinuria: 79%, anemia: 45%, nephrotoxic treatment: 70%, in all these cases: 20%. A
nephrological opinion is required for an average value of creatinine clearance according to
Cockcroft of 40 ± 12 ml / min. For MG, an age greater than 80 years is a relative or absolute
contraindication to supplementation in 35% of cases, dementia: 70%, progressive neoplasia: 65%.
CME (continuing medical education) is associated with knowledge of benchmarks, use of clearance
rather than serum creatinine.
