Aims/hypothesisChronic kidney disease (CKD) is a known complication of diabetes mellitus, and insulin resistance is a well-known complication of CKD. However, there is no consensus in the published data on the association of CKD with incident diabetes.MethodsA total of 15,403 people with CKD were identified from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database to determine their risk of incident diabetes compared with that of 15,403 matched individuals without CKD. Fine and Gray regression models using death as a competing risk were performed to calculate adjusted HRs and 95% CIs. Risk factors for incident diabetes in people with CKD were also determined.ResultsThe CKD cohort had a higher incidence rate of diabetes compared with the non-CKD cohort (11.23/1000 person-years vs 8.93/1000 person-years). In the fully adjusted model, CKD was a significant and independent predictor of incident diabetes (adjusted HR 1.204; 95% CI 1.11, 1.31). The influence of CKD on incident diabetes showed consistent results in three levels of sensitivity analysis. In the CKD cohort, the significant risk factors for incident diabetes included increased age, geographical location, hypertension, hyperlipidaemia and gout. Of these, hypertension was associated with the highest risk of developing incident diabetes (adjusted HR 1.682; 95% CI 1.47, 1.93).Conclusions/interpretationPeople with CKD were at higher risk of developing incident diabetes. People with CKD and hypertension, hyperlipidaemia, increased age or gout and who lived in certain geographical regions of Taiwan were more likely to develop diabetes as a complication compared with people without those characteristics.
