Prevalence of Chronic Kidney Disease in Tunisian Diabetics

Summary

In Tunisia, diabetes is a serious public health problem, its prevalence reaches 22.9% of people aged 18 and over and is likely to affect a quarter of the population by 2045. Diabetic kidney disease is the most common and severe complication of diabetes. It is both a major cause of end-stage renal disease and a risk factor for mortality and cardiovascular morbidity, thus becoming an additional public health concern. Early diagnosis of diabetic kidney disease makes it possible to manage patients more effectively and in a multidisciplinary way, to delay its progression to chronic renal failure.
