This research outlines the impact of chronic kidney disease on health outcomes, emphasizing diabetes and hypertension's role.

To analyze the global impact and severity of chronic kidney disease (CKD) as influenced by diabetes and hypertension.
Descriptive analysis of chronic kidney disease prevalence globally
Utilization of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) for CKD staging
Application of the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) classification system in clinical assessment.

Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of early morbidity and mortality among CKD patients.

Cockwell et al. (2020) studied this question.
