Abstract

Diabetic Kidney Disease (DKD) is an important microvascular complication and the principal cause for dialysis in Malaysia. Preventing and retarding its progress is one of the paramount task of any primary healthcare team, and optimal handling of the risk factors is one of the strategy. We aim to study the prevalence and associated factors for DKD among type 2 diabetic patients from a primary health clinic in Pekan, Pahang. Non-modifiable factors which are male gender and age more than 50 years old were found to be associated with the development of diabetic kidney disease in this study population. Surprisingly, this study found no significant association between neither GFR stages nor proteinuria with diabetes control, blood pressure control and BMI (p>0.05). Further evaluation is required to identify the reason for the non-association between modifiable factors with DKD.
