Add to ORKGBackground. The burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in sub-Saharan Africa is unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and the risk factors asso-ciated with CKD in Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Methods. In a cross-sectional study, 503 adult residents in 10 of the 35 health zones of Kinshasa were studied in a randomly selected sample. Glomerular filtration rate was estimated using the simplified Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study equation (eGFR) and compared with the Cockcroft–Gault equation for creatinine clear-ance. The associations between health characteristics, indi-cators of kidney damage (proteinuria) and kidney function (<60 ml/min/1.73 m2) were examined
