Prevalence of chronic kidney disease in Nigeria: systematic review of population-based studies.

Conclusion: The prevalence of CKD was high but variable in Nigeria, influenced by the equation used to estimate the GFR. MDRD and CKD-EPI results are agreeable. There is a need for more population-based studies, with emphasis on repeating the GFR estimation after 3 months in subjects with GFR <60 mL/min/1.7 m2. PMID: 29861638 [PubMed]
