Aetiology of chronic kidney disease and risk factors for disease progression in Chinese subjects: A single-centre retrospective study in Beijing.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

To assess the aetiological factors of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and factors associated with disease progression.

Methods

Single-centre retrospective study evaluating thorough electronic medical records of patients diagnosed with CKD at Peking University People's Hospital (April 2010-April 2015). The objectives were to identify the aetiological factors of CKD in Chinese patients and risk factors associated with CKD progression.

Results

Of 15 425 CKD patients, 12 380 had aetiology recorded. The leading aetiologies associated with CKD were chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN; 36.8%), hypertensive nephropathy (HTN; 28.5%) and diabetic nephropathy (DN; 27.1%). CGN was most common in patients with early stage disease (stages 1-2); DN and HTN were common in advanced-stage
