Abstract: AIM: To investigate the prevalence and risk factors associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Wuhu, China. METHODS: To investigate the prevalence and risk factors associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Wuhu, China. RESULTS: The result showed the prevalence of CKD in Wuhu city was 6.71%. The prevalence of proteinuria, hematuria, and eGFR of less than 60 mL·min-1·1.73 m-2 were 1.83%, 2.07%, and 3.4% respectively, all of which were increased expectedly with age. multivariate analysis demonstrated hyperuricemia, diabetes, anemia, age,gemdre and hypertension (OR 2.28, 1.70, 1.65, 1.48, and 1.29, respectively) to be independent risk factors for CKD. CONCLUSION: CKD in Wuhu city is lower than the average CKD prevalence in China as a whole. The risk factors for CKD outlined above should considered as a potential strategy for the early identification and prevention of CKD.
