Incident Chronic Kidney Disease Risk among Hispanics/Latinos in the United States: The Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL)

摘要

Significance Statement Although the incident rate of ESKD is higher among Hispanics/Latinos living in the United States compared with non-Hispanics, less is known about incident rates of CKD. The authors report that this community-based prospective cohort study of more than 8000 Hispanics/Latinos in the United States found the overall rate of incident CKD to be 10.6 per 1000 person-years, with the highest rate observed among Puerto Ricans (15.0 per 1000 person-years). Important risk factors for new-onset CKD included elevated BP and glycated hemoglobin, as well as lower baseline eGFR and higher baseline albumin-to-creatinine ratio. Culturally tailored public heath interventions among Hispanics/Latinos focusing on prevention and control of risk factors, including diabetes and hypertension, might help decrease their burden of CKD and ESKD.
