AB  - The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships among preexisting diabetes, preexisting hypertension, and newly diagnosed chronic kidney disease (CKD). A randomized, retrospective study involving 500 CKD patient cases and 500 non-CKD patient controls was performed. Patients were registered at a large academic medical center and received a new CKD diagnosis between January 1, 2022, and January 31, 2024. Patients with CKD were more than 2.7 times as likely to have hypertension (P < .001 [95% CI 1.872–3.986]), more than twice as likely to have diabetes (P < .021 [95% CI 1.127–4.216]), and more than 3.5 times as likely to have comorbid hypertension and diabetes compared with patients without CKD (P = .001 [95% CI 2.287–5.414]). The study was confined to the medical center’s patients. Another limitation is the retrospective design of the study. Those with CKD are significantly more likely to have hypertension and diabetes, singly or together.
