References PREVALENCE AND ASSOCIATED FACTORS P-83 According to the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017, the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) globally was 9.1% . Malaysia recorded a similar prevalence of 9.07% in the 2011’s National Health and Morbidity Survey . We aim to determine the current prevalence and associated factors of CKD among adults in Malaysia. CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE IN MALAYSIA NMRR-17-806-35765 Introduction A nation-wide, population-based, cross-sectional study was conducted in 2018 among adults aged ≥18-year-old. Total of 1,398 adults were randomly selected, using stratiﬁed cluster method. Blood for serum creatinine and random blood sugar was taken from respondents at their home by qualiﬁed staﬀ from a nearby Ministry of Health (MOH) hemodialysis unit. Urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR) was measured using a single urine sample. The estimated glomerular ﬁltration rate (eGFR) was measured with a calibrated serum creatinine using the CKD-EPI equation. CKD was deﬁned as eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73m or the presence of persistent albuminuria if eGFR ≥ 60 ml/min/1.73m . Material and Methods A total of 1398 individuals were approached for this study, and 75% of them (n = 1047) consented to participate. Serum creatinine was measured in 977 respondents. The ﬁnal analysis set comprised of 890 respondents. Table 1 shows the prevalence of CKD by stages (n = 890). Our study shows that the prevalence of CKD in Malaysia was 15.48% (95% CI: 12.30, 19.31). Using multivariate analysis, as seen in Table 2, shows that hypertension (aOR 3.72), diabetes mellitus (aOR 3.32), increasing Body Mass Index (aOR 1.06), and increasing age (aOR 1.06) were signiﬁcantly associated with CKD. Results This study has demonstrated a rising prevalence of CKD in Malaysia over the last 7 years since the previous study, the prevalence of 9.07 in 2011 to 15.48% currently. The probable reasons accounting for this rising trend are the increasing prevalence of non-communicable diseases that is associated with CKD and changes in population demographics. National Heal
