The global prevalence of CKD continues to increase, with diabetes accounting for the highest proportion. There is a lack of information on how much diabetes will affect the incidence of CKD in the eGFR group measured in the single examination.
The Sample Cohorts Database provided by the National Health Insurance Sharing Service (NHISS) in Korea was used. Participants aged 40 years or older (n=148,089) who underwent a health check-up in 2009 were stratified into 6 groups according to eGFR measurement values and diabetes presence. Participants in each group were tracked from 2010 to December 31, 2019. The CKD incidence rate in each group and the effect of accompanying factors on CKD incidence were confirmed.
In the same eGFR group, the incidence of CKD was higher than in the group without diabetes. The CKD incidence rates were similar between the eGFR < 60 group and the eGFR 60-90 group with diabetes. The CKD incidence rate was higher in the eGFR > 90 group with diabetes than the eGFR 60-90 group without diabetes. Older age, current smoker, men, hypertension, dyslipidemia, myocardial infarction history, and atrial fibrillation and flutter increased the risk of CKD.
The incidence of CKD depends on the level of eGFR and comorbidity, including diabetes. Accordingly, appropriate monitoring and management are required.
