Abstract

Introduction: Chronic kidney diseases (CKD) comprise the conditions that damage the kidneys and decrease their ability to keep you healthy by doing the jobs listed. If kidney disease gets worse, wastes can build up to high levels in the blood and make you feel sick.
Materials and Method: We screened 7462 subjects from outpatient department of Muzaffarnagar Medical College and Hospital from September 2016 to February 2017. Of the 7462 screened subjects, 6668 eligible subjects were enrolled in this study. We obtained personal and medical history data through a specifically designed questionnaire. Blood and urine samples were collected.
Results: In our study the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) was 11.19%. 52.95% chronic kidney disease patients were suffering from diabetes with hypertension, 29.49% from diabetes alone, 16.75% from hypertension alone and 0.8% from other diseases.
Conclusion: The major risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD) appears to be diabetes mellitus with hypertension which is taking a large chunk of the patients towards CKD than Diabetes or Hypertension alone.
