Summary
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects about 10-13% of the general population with a small proportion in the terminal renal disease stage requiring renal replacement therapy or renal transplantation. Diabetes mellitus is responsible for 50% of cases of chronic kidney disease being the most common cause [1]. Diabetic CKD is the most common cause of chronic renal failure involving renal replacement therapy worldwide, especially in the type 2 diabetes patients [2,3,4]. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is responsible for 30-40% of the causes of end-stage renal disease in the United States [5,6,7,8,9,10,11]. The aim of this study was to assess the presence of chronic kidney disease in relation to age and duration of type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus
