Background: Indigenous peoples worldwide are experiencing elevated rates of type 2 diabetes and its complications. To better understand the disproportionate burden of diabetic end stage renal disease (ESRD) among Canadian First Nations people (FN), we examined prevalence, determinants, and co-morbidities of chronic kidney disease (CKD) within this population. Methods: The 2007 Canadian FN Diabetes Clinical Management and Epidemiologic (CIRCLE) study conducted a cross-sectional national medical chart audit of 885 FN adults with type 2 diabetes to assess quality of diabetes care. In this sub-study, participants were divided by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR in ml/min/1.73 m 2), as well as by albuminuria level in those with eGFRs = > 60. Those with eGFRs = > 60 and negative albuminuria were considered to have normal/near normal kidney function (non-CKD). Using univariate and logistic regression analysis, they were compared with participants having eGFRs = > 60 plus albuminuria (CKD-alb) and with participants having eGFRs <60 (CKD-eGFR <60). Results: While 84.5% of total CIRCLE participants had eGFRs = > 60, almost 60% of the latter had CKD-alb. Of the 15.5% of total participants with CKD-eGFR <60, 80% had eGFRs 30-60 (Stage 3 CKD) but over 10% (1.6% of total participants) had ESRD. Independent determinants of CKD-alb were male gender and increasing diabetes duration, systolic BP, A1C and total cholesterol. These plus smoking rates also discriminated between FN with micro-and macro-albuminuria. Independent determinants of CKD-eGFR <60 were increasing age at diabetes diagnosis, diabetes duration, total cholesterol and systolic BP. However, participants with CKD-eGFR <60 also displayed a decreasing mean age of diabetes diagnosis as eGFR declined. Micro-vascular co-morbidities were significantly associated with CKD-alb but both micro-and macro-vascular co-morbidities were associated with CKD-eGFR <60. Only 35-40% of participants with CKD used insulin. Conclusions: High prevalences of CKD-alb and early CKD-eGFR <60 among diabetic FN were largely related to modifiable and treatable risk factors. However, an earlier age of diabetes diagnosis and longer duration of diabetes characterized those with ESRD. These findings suggest that a failure to meet current standards of diabetes care interacting with an age-related survival benefit contribute to the disproportionate burden of ESRD among FN and possibly other Indigenous peoples.
Diabetic End-Stage Renal Disease Among Native Americans
Diabetes Care, 1993
OBJECTIVE— To examine why ESRD has become a major source of morbidity and mortality for Native Americans with diabetes mellitus. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS— Using data from the Medicare ESRD Program, we examined incidence rates for ESRD among Native Americans for the years 1983–1987. RESULTS–During this period, the annual incidence of total ESRD in Native Americans increased by 18%, from 170.5/million to 200.1/million. The incidence of diabetic ESRD increased by 47%, from 80.6/million to 118.2/million. In 1987, the age-adjusted incidence rate of diabetic ESRD was 6.8 times higher in Native Americans than in whites. CONCLUSIONS— Recommendations for the prevention of diabetic ESRD include early identification of renal disease and improved control of hypertension and blood glucose. The magnitude of diabetic ESRD among Native Americans also underscores the need for primary prevention of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.

The number of cases of treated end-stage renal disease (ESRD) attributable to type 2 diabetes and survival after the onset of renal replacement therapy was examined in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI). All Chamorros and Carolinians to receive renal replacement therapy for ESRD between January 1982 and December 2002 were identified. Changes in survival over time were examined by dividing the study into three equal periods. Of 180 new cases of ESRD, 137 (76%; 101 Chamorros, 36 Carolinians) were attributed to diabetes. Ninety-nine subjects, 80% of whom had diabetic ESRD, began renal replacement therapy in the last 7 years of the study compared with 81 (72% with diabetic ESRD) in the previous 14 years. All 137 of the diabetic subjects received haemodialysis. During the 21-year study period, 79 of the diabetic subjects receiving dialysis died. The median survival after the onset of haemodialysis was 37 months in the first time period (1982-1988), 47 months in the second period (1989-1995) and 67 months in the third period (1996-2002). The death rate in the first period was 4.3 times (95% CI, 2.1-8.9) as high and the second period was 2.9 times (95% CI, 1.5-5.8) as high as the most recent period, after adjustment for age, sex and ethnicity in a proportional-hazards analysis. The number of diabetic patients in CNMI who are receiving renal replacement therapy is rising rapidly. Considerable improvement in survival after the onset of haemodialysis has occurred over the past 21 years.

To compare quality-of-care indicators for management of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and type 2 diabetes among the James Bay Cree of Northern Quebec with those among residents of Montreal, Que. A cross-sectional survey using medical records from patients seen between 2002 and 2008. Predialysis clinics of the McGill University Health Centre in Montreal. Thirty Cree and 51 nonaboriginal patients older than 18 years of age with type 2 diabetes mellitus and estimated glomerular filtration rates of less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Rates of anemia, iron deficiency, obesity, and renoprotective medication use among aboriginal and nonaboriginal patients. Overall, the Cree patients were younger (59 vs 68 years of age, P < .0035) and weighed more (101 vs 77 kg,P < .001). The 2 groups were prescribed medication to control blood pressure, lipids, and phosphate levels at similar rates, but the Cree patients were more likely to receive renoprotective agents (87% vs 65%, P = .04).

American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN) have the highest diabetes prevalence among any racial/ethnic group in the United States. Among AI/AN, diabetes accounts for 69% of new cases of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), defined as kidney failure treated with dialysis or transplantation. During 1982-1996, diabetes-related ESRD (ESRD-D) in AI/AN increased substantially and disproportionately compared with other racial/ethnic groups. Data from the U.S. Renal Data System, the Indian Health Service (IHS), the National Health Interview Survey, and the U.S. Census were used to calculate ESRD-D incidence rates by race/ethnicity among U.S. adults aged ≥18 years during 1996-2013 and in the diabetic population during 2006-2013. Rates were age-adjusted based on the 2000 U.S. standard population. IHS clinical data from the Diabetes Cares and Outcomes Audit were analyzed for diabetes management measures in AI/AN. Among AI/AN adults, age-adjusted ESRD-D rates per 100,000 population decreased 54%, ...
Excessive burden of end-state renal disease among Canadian Indians: a national survey
American Journal of Public Health, 1989
Analysis of data from the Canadian National Renal Failure Register indicates that Canadian Natives are at much higher risk for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) than the Canadian population in general. Using two population estimates for the total Native population, the age-standardized incidence rate of newly registered ESRD cases between 1981 and among Natives was at least 2.5 times (and may be as high as four times) the national rate. Natives
Mortality rates among patients with end-stage renal disease in Canada, 1981-86
CMAJ : Canadian Medical Association journal = journal de l'Association medicale canadienne, 1989
We assessed the mortality rates by age, sex, race, blood type, primary diagnosis, treatment and transplantation history of 8432 patients in Canada for whom end-stage renal disease (ESRD) was diagnosed between 1981 and 1986. Significant differences in the probability of dying were found between those with and without diabetes mellitus, between those who had received a renal transplant and those who had not, between white and nonwhite patients and between various age groups. The mortality rates of the ESRD patients were at least three times higher than those of the general Canadian population. Primary diagnosis and treatment were significantly associated with the risk of dying among the ESRD patients. For those who had received a transplant, the length of time spent waiting for a transplant was positively associated with the risk of death from ESRD. Patients who had received peritoneal dialysis before transplantation had a higher risk of death than those who had received either hemodi...
