ABSTRACT: This study aimed to estimate the incidence of chronic kidney disease and its predictors among newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients attending St. Paul's Hospital, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.The overall incidence of chronic kidney disease was a major public health issue among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with 2178 (95% CI 12,801, 21,286) cases per 10,000 patient-months. Moreover, 62(14.25%) patients in the sample experienced chronic kidney disease. Old age [adjusted hazard ratio (AHR)?=?1.06, 95%CI 1.03, 1.09], no diabetic retinopathy [AHR?=?0.13, 95%CI 0.07-0.24], high density lipoprotein cholesterol???40 mg/dl [AHR?=?0.55, 95%CI 0.31, 0.97] and high body mass index [AHR?=?1.17, 95%CI 1.1, 1.25] were common factors for chronic kidney diseases.
