Table-II: Association between the stage of
CKD and the stage of diabetic retinopathy.
Overall, 4,305 (0.1 pc) of participants had a diagnosis of
CKD, yielding an overall incidence rate of 4.95 per 100,000 person-years across all ages (0-43 years).
The common causes of
CKD identified in the patients included diabetic nephropathy 28% (140 patients), glomerulonephritis 22% (110 patients), hypertension 14.6% (73 patients), tubulo-interstitial disease 13.4% (67patients)and renal stone disease 8% (40 patients, he added.

CKD are indigenous such as social conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age including poverty, gender discrimination, lack of education, occupational hazards and pollution among others.
The common etiology of

All 520 cases were less than or equal to
CKD Stage 4 according to the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes Guidelines (2012).
Using the
CKD EPI Pakistan equation, they found an overall prevalence (95% CI) of
CKD of 12.5% (11.4 - 13.8%).
