Abstract 
Introduction: The complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), such as chronic kidney disease (CKD), are the second leading 
cause of death in Oxcutzcab municipality of Yacatan, Mexico. The objective of the study was to estimate the burden of chronic 
kidney disease in a sample of patients with T2DM from Oxcutzcab municipality of Yacatan, Mexico, region characterized by high 
amound of poverty and vulnerabidity.  
Methods: This is a descriptive study involving 108 adult patients between 26 and 79 years old with T2DM who attended the 
PROSPERA, social protection program under the direction of Ministry of Social Development of Mexico (88% female and 12% 
male). Weight, height, BMI, and years of post T2DM diagnosis were measured. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 
calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault formula.  
Results: We found that 39.81% of participants had stage one kidney damage, 34.26% stage two, 24.07% stage three, one case of 
stage four, and one of stage five. BMI measurements indicated that 40.74% of participants were obese (≥30kg/m2), 35.19% were 
overweight, and 1.85% were underweight. In terms of years since diagnosis, 37.04% of the participants were diagnosed five years 
ago and less, 29.63% of participants were diagnosed 6-10 years ago, 22.22% between 11-15 years ago, 8.33% between 16-20 years 
ago, and 2.78% of participants over 20 years ago. 
Conclusions: Most participants were in stages one to three of kidney damage, where the main objective of the medical team was 
medical treatment of T2DM and comorbidities, as well as nutritional support to prevent further complications. There was only one 
case in stage four and five each, where dialysis and kidney transplantation became necessary. Both cases presented had a history 
of T2DM for over 20 years. It is important to identify early kidney damage to improve quality of life, reduce the treatment costs, 
and lower mortality.
