Abstract

Background: The burden of Diabetic kidney disease has been increasing more in developing countries like Ethiopia. It is the leading cause of End Stage renal disease (ESRD) which has a significant impact in mortality and health care cost associated with diabetes. There are only few studies done in the prevalence of Chronic Kidney Disease in Diabetes Mellitus in Ethiopia, and there is no research done in private facilities until recently. Since there is availability of diagnostic mechanisms it might show different result compared to government hospitals.
