A Population-Based Study on the Prevalence and Risk Factors of Chronic Kidney Disease in Adult Population of Shiraz, Southern Iran

Abstract: Background: Currently we face a significant increase in the new cases of end-stage renal disease in developing countries. Hence it seems vital to work on strategies and reduce its development and progression. Determining the related risk factors can provide insight into achieving these policy-making goals. Therefore, this study was conducted in order to identify risk factors associated with chronic kidney disease in Iranian adult population. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed in Shi… Show more

“…According to one study, the prevalence of CKD varies by age group, gender, socioeconomic status, and geographic region [7]. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients are more prone to developing endstage renal disease (ESRD), which demands expensive treatment methods like dialysis and kidney transplantation [11], and this financial load leads to long-term medical and psychological difficulties [12,13]. Furthermore, on a global scale, CKD is caused by unmanaged diabetes and hypertension, and the prevalence of CKD is now impacted by these two risk factors.…”
