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.
