Blood pressure, fasting blood sugar, urinalysis, weight, height, waist circumference and hip circumference were obtained. We studied 8 urban communities in Kwara State, North-Central zone of Nigeria. The study aims to determine the prevalence of CKD and its risk factors in Nigeria. There is insufficient population-based data on CKD in Nigeria that is required to estimate its true burden, and to design prevention and management strategies.
