 This study found that 9.6% of people who were screened for type 2 diabetes mellitus also had chronic kidney disease, CKD. Additionally, 18.1% of those screened had CKD, defined as having an estimated glomerular filtration rate, e.g. FR, of less than 60 ml a minute, 1.73 m2 or albumin creatinine ratio, ACR, greater than 3 mg per mole. Furthermore, 73.6% of those with CKD had stage 1, 17.6% had stage 2, and 8.8% had stage 3. This suggests that CKD may be more common than previously thought, and that it should be included in existing screening programs. This article was authored by Cindy George, Andre P.
