Abstract

Prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in pre-diabetes in the US is well studied and known to be high, but little is known about the prevalence of CKD in Chinese Americans with pre-diabetes. Data from an adult primary care clinic in New York City was analyzed to determine the prevalence of CKD in Chinese Americans with pre-diabetes. A total of 963 pre-diabetic Chinese patients from 11/2016 to 07/2017 were included (N=963). Pre-diabetes was defined as per ADA criteria: HbA1c between 5.7%-6.4% or fasting blood glucose between 100-125 mg/dl. CKD was defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 ml/min per 1.73 m2. The Chi Square tests were used for comparison. 2.7 % Chinese Americans with pre-diabetes had CKD while 4.6% general Americans with prediabetes had CKD in NHANES from 2011-2014 (N=1701). In this population of Chinese Americans, the prevalence of CKD is lower than general Americans with pre-diabetes (P < 0.05). Futher studies are needed to find out the underlying causes, which may have important clinical and public health implications.
