Of these hypertensive patients, patients with uncontrolled blood pressure, overweight/obesity, dyslipidemia and diabetic mellitus, 43.3%, 33.7% , 27.3 % and 28.2 respectively. After adjustment, the independent variables the significant associated factors of chronic kidney disease among hypertensive patients were age AOR (95% CI = 1.43 (1.07-1.81) , uncontrolled hypertension 4.434 AOR ( 95%CI =9.45 (1.34, 14.73) , overweight/obese AOR ( 95%CI =7.422 ( 2.72, 20.28) , dyslipidemia AOR (95% CI) = 13.749 (5.69, 33.215), diabetic mellitus AOR (95% CI) = 2.137 (1.07, 4.26). In conclusion, the prevalence of chronic kidney disease was considerably high.
