Assessment of impaired glomerular filtration rate and associated factors in South West Ethiopia: a cross-sectional study

The magnitude of impaired eGFR was prevalent among adult patients admitted to WKUSTH medical ward with different medical conditions. Old age, Hypertension, Diabetes, high body mass index, and Anemia were significantly associated with impaired eGFR both in CKD-EPI and MDRD-4 equation. Estimation of GFR for all hospitalized adults with known CKD risk factors might help in early detection of CKD and prevent complications.
