Abstract

Background: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a significant complication of diabetes, leading to increased morbidity and mortality. Understanding its incidence in diabetic populations can help in early detection and management strategies. Objective: To determine the incidence of CKD among patients with diabetes and identify any correlating demographic or clinical factors that may contribute to the risk. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 200 patients with diabetes were randomly selected from a tertiary healthcare setting. Data on patient demographics, diabetes duration, management, and presence of CKD were collected through medical record reviews. The incidence of CKD was calculated, and associations with various risk factors were analyzed using statistical methods. Results: The study aims to present the incidence rate of CKD among the sampled diabetic patients and elucidate any significant associations with patient characteristics such as age, gender, diabetes management, and other clinical variables. Conclusion: Findings from this study will provide valuable insights into the incidence of CKD in diabetic patients and highlight potential risk factors. This can inform healthcare providers about the importance of monitoring and early intervention strategies for CKD in diabetic populations. Further implications for patient education, policy, and future research directions will also be discussed.
