Abstract EN
Diabetes patients worldwide are at a high risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) which affects their quality of life and increases the risk of early death.
This study used the new kidney disease improving global outcomes (KDIGO) guidelines to establish the prevalence and also identify the factors associated with CKD among diabetes patients in the Cape Coast Metropolis.
Two hundred (200) diabetes patients were randomly recruited from the diabetic clinic of the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital from January to April 2014.
Blood and urine samples were collected for the estimation of serum creatinine and urine protein, respectively.
The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated using the chronic kidney disease epidemiology collaboration (CKD–EPI) equation; the 2012 KDIGO guidelines was used to assess CKD.
Based on these guidelines, 37% of our participants had CKD.
Sixteen percent (16%) of the participants had Stage 1 CKD and 17% had an eGFR <0.05).
