Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a public health problem known as one of the most important factors for premature death (Coresh et al., 2007; Martins et al., 2012). The disparity in the distribution of CKD is due to the socio-economic factors, gender, ethnicity and race at the global level (Norris and Nissenson, 2008; Norris and Agodoa, 2005). Roles of socio-economic conditions have been recently taken into account as a key factor in the pathway of CKD creation and expansion (Bruce et al., 2009; Nicholas et al., 2015). Several studies worldwide investigated a strong relationship between socioeconomic status and incidence of CKD complications (Crews et al., 2012; Jurkovitz et al., 2012; Saab et al., 2012).

Summary
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a public health problem known as one of the most important factors for premature death (Coresh et al, 2007; Martins et al, 2012). Martins et al studied the relationship between microalbuminuria and macroalbuminuria and the individual economic and social situation in the United States of America, so that the odds ratio of microalbuminuria in the poor (defined as less than 200% federal poverty level) was equal to 1.35; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.22-1.49 and for macroalbuminuria was equal to 1.78; 95% CI: 1.40- 2.26 compared to other people.
