| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣海洋大學 === 資訊工程學系 === 105 === Chronic kidney disease prevails among various countries . Medical expenses have become a great burden. The prevalence of chronic kidney disease in Taiwan is
the highest in the world. Thus, identifying risk factors for chronic kidney disease is important.
The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between chronic kidney disease and water quality in Taiwan using the correlation values. We got the kidney disease prevalence and the water quality data to study their correlation. Our results showed that arsenic in groundwater and nitrate nitrogen in reservoir and chemical oxygen demand in river were potential risk factors for chronic kidney disease. The arsenic in groundwater is the most significant item. The correlation coefficient between arsenic and chronic kidney disease is 0.60. The correlation coefficient between arsenic and end-stage renal disease even reached 0.72. For our suspected risk factors, we want to know whether there are more papers have proven their impact on chronic kidney disease, and some have proven their relevance, some of them are also need to invest more research to observe the relevance. But no matter what, if we let the public to reduce the contact to the water region which is including the above monitored items, we believe that Taiwan can effectively reduce the incidence of kidney disease.
