Introduction
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a serious public health issue worldwide, especially among individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A recent study conducted at Debre Berhan Referral Hospital, Central Ethiopia, examined the prevalence and associated risk factors of CKD in diabetic patients. This research highlights key findings that can help in early diagnosis and better management of kidney disease among diabetic patients.

Key Findings of the Study
The study analyzed data from 327 type 2 diabetic follow-up patients at Debre Berhan Referral Hospital. The results revealed that:

  • Prevalence of CKD: 15.9% of patients had CKD, with varying stages of renal impairment.
  • Significant Risk Factors:
    • Age over 60 years (AOR 3.5, 95% CI 1.8-6.8)
    • Alcohol consumption (AOR 2.4, 95% CI 1.2-5.1)
    • High LDL cholesterol levels (>100 g/dl) (AOR 2.7, 95% CI 1.9-4)
    • Low HDL cholesterol levels (<60 g/dl) (AOR 2.9, 95% CI 1.4-6)
    • Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels above 7% (AOR 2.5, 95% CI 1.5-4.1)

Broader Implications on Public Health
According to the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guidelines, early screening for CKD in diabetic patients is essential for timely intervention. Regular monitoring of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and lipid profiles can help in early detection and management.
