Chronic heart and kidney complications due to diabetes are a major public health problem in India. People with diabetes are at increased risk of developing a number of chronic health complications, including heart disease, kidney disease, stroke, blindness, and nerve damage.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), heart and kidney disease due to diabetes caused an estimated 2 million deaths worldwide in 2019. Cardiac and kidney health are closely linked, and diabetes can put both of these organs at risk. In India, the burden of these complications is particularly high. The International Diabetes Federation has stated that India has the second-highest number of people with diabetes in the world, with over 77 million adults living with the condition.
