Abstract
The International Diabetes Federation estimates that 537 million individuals around the globe currently have diabetes, and this number is anticipated to rise to approximately 783 million by 2045. About 30% or more of individuals diagnosed with diabetes are more prone to developing chronic kidney disease (CKD), and a considerable portion progresses to renal impairment that requires renal replacement therapy.1,2.
