1552-P: Relationship between Diabetes Status and Chronic Kidney Disease in New York City Chinese and Non-Chinese Populations

Diabetes mellitus (DM) and prediabetes incidence have increased in the U.S. in recent years. In our center we have observed higher prevalence of diabetes/prediabetes in NYC Chinese-Americans than the general population. Diabetes patients are often associated with cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Aim: To determine the relationship between diabetes status and CKD status in NYC Chinese population compared to the general population so that proper medical management can be achieved. Method: Using A1C test to determine the diabetes status, with A1C value of 6.5 as diabetics. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were determined and values 9.0 in Chinese population. In non-Chinese population, the CKD prevalence was 5.3%, 13.2%, 21.1%, 23.5%, 23.8%, and 18.6%, respectively for the corresponding nondiabetics, prediabetics and various DM subgroups. Conclusion: Significant prevalence of CKD were found in prediabetics of NYC Chinese and general populations. There is a high prevalence of CKD associated with diabetes mellitus in both populations. Prevalence of CKD in NYC Chinese is higher than the general population, particularly in the ≥65 years group and those having severer DM with A1C >8.0.
