Article Synopsis
- Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), particularly chronic kidney disease (CKD), are increasingly prevalent in developing countries like Rwanda, significantly affecting patients' quality of life and imposing economic burdens on society.
- A study conducted using data from a national survey assessed the prevalence of albuminuria as a key indicator of kidney damage among 6,998 participants in Rwanda, revealing a prevalence rate of 105.9 per 1,000 population.
- The results indicated that living in semi-urban or urban areas is linked to lower odds of CKD compared to rural life, while being married or living with a partner correlated with higher odds of CKD.
