Key result
Chronic kidney disease was associated with increased odds of congestive heart failure, heart attack, and stroke in a community-based population.
Why the study?
The relationship between chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular diseases in the general population was not well characterized.

This community-based survey highlights a strong connection between cardiovascular diseases and undetected chronic kidney disease in the general population of Northern Saudi Arabia.
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) in a community based Survey. Methodology: This was a community based survey, investigated 2944 individuals for CKD and CVD in Northern Saudi Arabia. Results: Of the 2944 Glomerular infiltration rate was measured for 2700/2944 (91.7%). Of the 2700, Congestive heart failure (CHF), Heart attack, Stroke and Peripheral vascular disease (PVD), were identified in 27, 52, 41 and 58 patients, respectively. Conclusion: CVDs were highly connected to CKD among general population. There is strong relationship between CVD and CKD among those with undetected CKD. The most common CVDs were CHF, Heart Attack, Stroke and PVD.

A 2016 study conducted a cross-sectional in Chronic Kidney Disease and Cardiovascular Disease (n=2,944). Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) vs. Normal kidney function was evaluated on Congestive heart failure (CHF) (OR 5.12, 95% CI 2.22-11.85, p=<0.0001). Chronic kidney disease was associated with increased odds of congestive heart failure, heart attack, and stroke in a community-based population.
