Prevalence of impaired kidney function & its association with diabetes & hypertension in India: The ICMR-INDIAB study (ICMR-INDIAB-22).

ABSTRACT: Background & objectives Chronic kidney disease remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in developing nations like India. This study was conducted to assess the prevalence of impaired kidney function (IKF) and its association with type 2 diabetes(T2D) and systemic hypertension (HTN) in India. Methods A total of 25,408 individuals (with/without HTN and T2D), a nationally representative sample, were included from the Indian Council of Medical Research-INdia-DIABetes (ICMR-INDIAB) cross-sectional study. IKF was defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 (CKD-EPI-2009 equation-race free). Results The overall weighted prevalence of IKF was 3.2 per cent [95% confidence interval (CI): 2.9-3.5] with no significant differences between urban [3.3% (2.8-3.7)] an
