[Prevalence, age and gender features of chronic kidney disease in patients with diabetes mellitus].

Our data indicate the existence of differences in the prevalence of CKD and associated risk factors for the progression of renal failure, depending on gender differences and living conditions of patients. In urban residents, CKD was most often associated with arterial hypertension and renal failure, while overweight, obesity, and proteinuria were significantly more common in rural areas. The incidence of proteinuria and mean levels of systolic BP were significantly higher in females. Further study of the issue under discussion seems promising from the standpoint of a personalized approach and the search for a new preventive strategy to combat both end-stage renal failure and its complications.
