The article reports on the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Ukrainian diabetic patients. A total of 194 patients who seeking an appointment with an endocrinologist underwent CKD screening. Materials and methods. The mean age of the patients was 64.82±0.88 years, and the duration of diabetes mellitus amounted to 9.29±0.60 years. Of these, 53.1% were female and 46.9% were male. Out of the screened patients, 79.4% had type 2 diabetes mellitus, 3.6% had type 1 diabetes mellitus, 9.3% had prediabetes, and 7.7% had other types of diabetes. We diagnosed CKD by calculating the estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) based on the creatinine level using the CKD-EPI Creatinine formula and determining albuminuria as the albumin-to-creatinine ratio. Results. Among diabetic patients, 26.8% had stage 1 CKD, 42.3% had stage 2, 21.6% had stage 3a, 8.2% had stage 3с, and 0.5% had each of stage 4 and 5. 70.6% of patients were found to have albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) A1, 21.6% – A2, and 7.7% – A3. Of these, 30.0% were at high and very high risk of developing end-stage CKD. The regression analysis revealed a negative correlation between the duration of diabetes mellitus and the level of GFR, B (95% CI) = -0.102 (-0.179/-0.26), p = 0.009, and a positive correlation with ACR, B (95% CI) = 2.87 (0.089/5.605), p = 0.043. Conclusions. Among the examined patients with diabetes mellitus, 73.2% had stage 2-5 chronic kidney disease, and 29.3% had stage A2 and A3 albuminuria. Of these, 30% belong to the high- and very high-risk group for developing end-stage chronic kidney disease, requiring regular monitoring of glomerular filtration rate and albuminuria at least 3-4 times a year and conservative treatment. The duration of diabetes is a negative risk factor for chronic kidney disease. Hence, chronic kidney disease screening should be performed in all patients with diabetes with no exception.
