ABSTRACT
Studies (1, 2) relate hypertension, diabetes mellitus type 2 and CKD. In Trinidad and Tobago, noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) account for 60% of all deaths (3). From 2009 to 2018, mortality from chronic renal disease increased by 41.5% (4). Even though CKD is responsible for many deaths in the country, there is no specific figure for its prevalence. The epidemiology of these diseases at the national level is critical to designing preventative policies and treatments for a rising and NCD-prone society, where over 50% of the population is at risk of getting NCDs (3). It's also crucial to recognize the risk factors for CKD.
