Therefore, objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of diabetes among patients with CKD in Hail, KSA. Methodology: This is a cross-sectional study carried in the Nephrology Outpatients Clinic in King Khalid Hospital. A total of 200 patients known to have CKD were included in the study. Results: This study included 98 (49%) Females and 102 (51%) males, The mean age of the females was significantly lower than the males (P�?�0.05), The overall prevalence of diabetes in patients with CKD was 69% among them 73.9% were with retinopathy and diabetes; and female gender were associated with more advanced stage of CKD (p value<0.05), mean average of eGFR was significantly lower in patients with diabetes (P�?�0.05 ), eGFR correlates inversely with HbA1c (P�?�0.05 ), The mean time of onset of CKD in diabetic patients after the diagnosis of diabetes is 11.7±0.67 (p value<0.05), diabetic females the mean time of onset of CKD after the diagnosis of diabetes is significantly lower than in males (p value<0.05), Association of diabetes and hypertension in patients with CKD 87.7% were hypertensive among them 72.6% were diabetic (P�?�0.05 ).
