Observational study reveals diabetic nephropathy and hypertensive nephrosclerosis as leading causes of CKD in patients, highlighting the need for early intervention.
Key Points
The study found diabetic nephropathy and hypertensive nephrosclerosis to be the leading causes of chronic kidney disease.
Among 284 CKD patients, 30.6% had diabetic nephropathy, while 29.6% had hypertensive nephrosclerosis as causes.
Conducted as a prospective observational study over four months, this analysis collected detailed patient data.
The findings indicate that early screening for diabetes and hypertension could significantly reduce the burden of end-stage renal disease.
