Abstract

Background

Worldwide, chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major public health issue, with a leading cause of death and disability. The aim of our study to estimate the prevalence of CKD in the Bangladeshi population based on existing data of previous studies.

Methods

In this systematic review and meta-analysis study, electronic search engines of PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, and the national journal databases were used to find relevant published articles until December 31, 2019. Based on predefined inclusion/exclusion criteria, nine studies were included, and RevMan V5.0 statistical software was used for meta-analysis.

Results

The outcomes of the included studies (nine studies, a total of 225,206 participants) based on meta-analysis showed an overall prevalence of CKD in Bangladeshi people of 22.48%, which was higher than the global prevalence of CKD. The prevalence of CKD in females was higher with high heterogeneity (I2 90%) in contrast to male participants (25.32% vs. 20.31%).

Conclusion

Above all, this study revealed a higher rate of prevalence of CKD in Bangladeshi people. So, it needs more attention to concern public health policymakers and the government to control and reduce the high-risk of disability due to CKD.
