“…We used the Stat-Calc option of the software Epi-Info to estimate the sample size for descriptive studies with a simple random sampling. With a prevalence of 49.7% of CKD in patients with hypertension in our setting (12), and an 80% power of detecting significant correlates of CKD, and an alpha error of 5%, the minimum size of the study was 384 participants with hypertension.…”

“…As expected, the rate of CKD is highest in low-income settings like ours, due to the very high rates, and the interplay of the many risk factors of CKD. In a SSA setting, up to 50% of those receiving routine care for hypertension have CKD (12). For the same level of blood pressure (BP) as Caucasians, Africans with risk of hypertensive kidney disease have been shown to have a rapid deterioration of kidney function to End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) (10,(13)(14)(15).…”

“…The burden of some of these complications in Cameroon is higher compared with Africa (11)(12)(13). For instance, the prevalence of diabetes mellitus is estimated at 6.8% (11), the prevalence of hypertension varies between 30% and 40% (14)(15)(16)(17), and the prevalence of chronic kidney disease varies between 4% and 14% (18,19).…”
