 The study aimed to assess the prevalence and awareness of chronic kidney disease, CKD, and its risk factors, as well as investigate the risk of cardiovascular disease, CVD, in low-income and middle-income countries. The International Society of Nephrology's Kidney Disease Data Center, ISNKDDC, conducted a cross-sectional study in 12 countries from six world regions, including Bangladesh, Bolivia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, China, Egypt, Georgia, India, Iran, Mordova, Mongolia, Nepal, and Nigeria. The study analyzed data from screening programs in these countries, matching a general and four high-risk population cohorts collected in the ISNKDDC database. High-risk cohorts were individuals at risk of or with a diagnosis of either CKD, hypertension, diabetes, or CVD. Participants completed a self-report questionnaire, had their blood pressure measured, and blood and urine samples taken. The study found that the prevalence of CKD was 14.3%, 95% CI-14.
