Abstract

The escalating rates of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and Diabetic Kidney Disease (DKD) have a significant impact on the general public's health in North Karnataka, India. Understanding the risk factors particular to each location is necessary for developing effective preventative and treatment strategies. This study aims to provide light on North Karnataka's DKD and T2DM epidemiology. In particular, relationships between the duration of the illness and certain risk factors—such as age, sex, employment, diet, alcohol intake, smoking, and a family history of diabetes—will be looked at.The patients who visited a tertiary care hospital in Vijayapura district between January 2023 and December 2023 were participated in the study. The following tests were used to obtain data: anthropometric measures, blood pressure readings at both the systolic and diastolic phases, and kidney function tests (serum creatinine, urine albumin, urine creatinine, ACR, and HbA1C).The findings assist improved public health awareness and focused treatments by offering crucial insights into the epidemiological and clinical features of diabetes in this area. These findings emphasize the intricate relationships that exist between lifestyle, demographics, and the length of a disease, with the ultimate goal of enhancing the quality of life and health outcomes for those who have DKD and T2DM.
