Does comorbid hypertension and diabetes increase the likelihood of a recent chronic kidney disease diagnosis in adult patients?
Patients newly diagnosed with chronic kidney disease are significantly more likely to have preexisting comorbid hypertension and diabetes, highlighting the synergistic risk of these conditions on renal health.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among preexisting diabetes, preexisting hypertension, and newly diagnosed chronic kidney disease (CKD). A randomized, retrospective study involving 500 CKD patient cases and 500 non-CKD patient controls was performed. Patients were registered at a large academic medical center and received a new CKD diagnosis between January 1, 2022, and January 31, 2024. Patients with CKD were more than 2.7 times as likely to have hypertension (P P P = .001 95% CI 2.287–5.414). The study was confined to the medical center’s patients. Another limitation is the retrospective design of the study. Those with CKD are significantly more likely to have hypertension and diabetes, singly or together.
Wendt et al. (Thu,) conducted a cohort in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) (n=1,000). Patients with newly diagnosed chronic kidney disease are significantly more likely to have diabetes or hypertension, either singly or together.
