Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is highly prevalent among patients with type 2 diabetes, affecting approximately 30-40% of this population. CKD significantly impacts overall patient health by increasing the risk of cardiovascular events, progression to end-stage renal disease, and mortality. It also complicates diabetes management, necessitating adjustments in medication and monitoring. The presence of CKD in diabetic patients often leads to a higher burden of comorbidities, reduced quality of life, and increased healthcare utilization, underscoring the importance of early detection and management strategies.
