PG - 102320 LID - S1871-4021(21)00340-4 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.dsx.2021.102320 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Limited data are available regarding the risk factors associated with the development of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) among Sudanese adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS: A case-control study was conducted at Dr. Salma Center for Kidney Diseases between April and September 2019. Patients with T2DM and DKD were compared to age and sex-matched T2DM patients with no kidney disease (NKD). Socio-demographic features, clinical findings, and laboratory investigations of the study subjects and controls were analyzed using SPSS. RESULTS: A total of 372 patients with DKD were compared to 364 T2DM patients with NKD. The mean age of the DKD patients was 58 +/- 13.4 years, their median eGFR was 37.3 +/- 4.9 ml/min/1.73 m(2); they had their T2DM at a significantly younger age compared to controls (P = 0.014). Logistic regression analysis revealed that a family history of diabetes mellitus, a family history of chronic kidney disease, the presence of hypertension, obesity, hypercholesterolemia, hyperuricemia, smoking, recurrent urinary tract infection, and the regular use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs were significantly associated with the development of DKD (P values < 0.05). CONCLUSION: A series of modifiable risk factors were found to be significant determinants for developing DKD. Primary care physicians are expected to pay considerable attention to their control.
