Diabetes and chronic kidney disease in Turkey (DIAKIT): a cross-sectional cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global public health problem with increasing disease burden affecting nearly 10% of adult population worldwide. We aimed to detect the prevalence of CKD, patients' distribution among CKD stages, and factors associated with having CKD in diabetic patients in Turkey.

Methods

This cross-sectional study, conducted in 2022, included 1591 patients with diabetes (mean age, 63 ± 10 years; female: 65.5%) from the Cappadocia Cohort study. CKD was diagnosed by an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 mL/min/1.73 m² or urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) ≥ 30 mg/g, which was measured in spot urine samples collected in the morning for three consecutive days.

Results

In this cohort of adult diabetic patients,
