Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is in the top 10 leading causes of mortality globally. In South Africa where non-communicable diseases are the main cause of mortality the true prevalence of CKD is unknown, and its associated risk factors remain understudied in the general population.
