Aims: To estimate the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD), their risk factors the incidence of cardiovascular and coronary events and total and cardiovascular mortality in a cohort of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients observed for 10 years in primary care practices in Badajoz, Spain.

Methods: Observational, longitudinal study. A total of 643 patients with T2DM (mean age 64.0 years, 55.7% women), without evidence of cardiovascular disease, were studied. CKD was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 ml/min/1.73 m at the beginning of the study, by applying the simplified Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) Study formula.

Results: The prevalence rate of CKD was 24.3%. Patients with CKD had higher percentages of coronary, cerebrovascular and cardiovascular events and higher rates of cardiovascular mortality (18.6 vs. 6.0%, p < 0.001) and total mortality (42.3 vs. 23.4%, p < 0.01), compared to patients without CKD. The Cox proportional hazards model, adjusted for age, systolic blood pressure levels, glycated haemoglobin, total cholesterol, obesity and smoking, revealed that patients with CKD had an increased risk of coronary events (HR:2.18; 95% CI:1.13-4.22, p < 0.05).

Conclusions: Our study confirms a high prevalence of CKD in patients with T2DM and its relationship with the presence of cardiovascular disease.
