DescriptionBackground: Chronic Kidney disease is recognized as a significant health problem affecting about 14.8% of the US population. CKD is the ninth leading cause of death in the united states . CDC projected the prevalence of CKD for 65 and older to slightly increase to 37.8 %.4 CKD not only accounts for more death than prostate and breast cancer put together but also contribute to other diseases which increase the probability of higher prevalence in heart disease and . In a study that focused on the future burden of CKD, they found that by 2030 adults of 30 years or older may increase from 14.8% to 16.7%.Methods: The data were obtained from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) and were used to identify the relationship between length of stay, total charges, mortality and CKD. After merging the data, a total sample of 660,663 out of 30,931,761 discharge records of patients were diagnosed with chronic kidney disease. SAS Enterprise was used to perform descriptive and inferential analysis. RESULTS: The results showed that total charges, length of stay and mortality for CKD patients increases with the presence of comorbidities. Also, patients between the age of 0-19 and have hypertension their risk of developing CKD increases by 18x. Patients in their 20s and has hypertension are at a risk of developing CKD by almost 3 times when they reach 50 if they do not control their hypertension. Also, patients with complicated diabetes their risk increases by 8x where anemia at 4x. Conclusion: In this study comorbidities across all age groups such as diabetes, hypertension, obesity, anemia, and congestive heart disease increases the likelihood of developing CKD. Patients with these risk factors should follow guidelines to control their condition to avoid developing CKD.
