The aim was to investigate oral health in randomly selected patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Data obtained by structured interview (self-reported lifestyle, oral symptoms and regularity of dental visits) and oral examination of patients with CKD from the Copenhagen University Hospital. Fourteen patients with CKD were screened. Only half of the patients reported regular dental visits and poor dental status was registered in half of the patients. Oral mucosal changes were registered in thirteen patients (93%). Eleven patients (79%) had gingival inflammatory disease. Twelve patients (86%) were carriers of Candida, and three (21%) had oral candidosis. Six patients (43%) had low whole saliva flow rate. Twelve patients (86%) reported at least one oral symptom. Overall, there was no differences in oral symptoms or findings related to kidney transplanted or not transplanted patients. The small sample size most likely influences the results. However, the vast majority of patients with CKD reported oral symptoms and only half consulted a dentist regularly. Poor dental status, oral mucosal changes and gingival disease were prevalent findings. Patients with CKD need focus on daily oral healthcare and regular dental visits. Interdisciplinary cooperation could encourage patients with CKD to focus on oral health.

丹麦慢性肾脏病患者的口腔症状和病理学-一项初步研究。

目的是研究随机选择的慢性肾脏病（CKD）患者的口腔健康状况。通过结构性访谈（自我报告的生活方式，口腔症状和就诊规律）以及来自哥本哈根大学医院的CKD患者的口腔检查获得的数据。筛选了14例CKD患者。只有一半的患者报告了定期的牙科就诊，并且一半的患者登记了不良的牙齿状况。十三名患者（93％）出现口腔粘膜变化。十一名患者（79％）患有牙龈炎。十二名患者（86％）是念珠菌的携带者，三名（21％）患有口腔念珠菌病。6名患者（43％）的总唾液流速低。12位患者（86％）报告至少有一种口腔症状。总体，移植或未移植肾患者的口腔症状或发现无差异。小样本大小最有可能影响结果。但是，绝大多数CKD患者报告有口腔症状，只有一半定期咨询牙医。普遍存在牙齿状况差，口腔粘膜变化和牙龈疾病的现象。患有CKD的患者需要专注于日常口腔保健和定期牙科访问。跨学科合作可鼓励CKD患者专注于口腔健康。患有CKD的患者需要专注于日常口腔保健和定期牙科访问。跨学科合作可以鼓励CKD患者专注于口腔健康。患有CKD的患者需要专注于日常口腔保健和定期牙科访问。跨学科合作可鼓励CKD患者专注于口腔健康。
