Prevalence of impaired kidney function & its association with diabetes & hypertension in India: The ICMR–INDIAB study (ICMR-INDIAB-22)

Key Points

The prevalence of impaired kidney function was found to be 3.2%, with variations based on gender and age.
Individuals with both diabetes and hypertension faced a six-fold higher risk of impaired kidney function compared to those with either condition.
The study analyzed data from 25,408 individuals to evaluate the association between impaired kidney function and metabolic risk factors.
Chronic kidney disease remains a significant health challenge in India, with diabetes presenting a greater risk than hypertension.

Abstract

Background this was greater in urban areas, females, and in those with both HTN and T2D. Presence of T2D alone was associated with significantly higher risk of IKF compared to HTN alone (Odds Ratio 3.2 vs . 2.4); however, the risk was six fold higher in individuals with both HTN and T2D. Interpretation & conclusions The burden of IKF is high across India and is likely to rise further owing to high prevalence of metabolic risk factors. T2D seems to confer higher risk of IKF compared to HTN in this population.
