Core Tip The core tip of this manuscript is to assess chronic kidney disease (CKD) and associated factors at Wolkite University Specialized Hospital. Accordingly, during admission 54 (15.7%) medical ward admitted patients with 95%CI: 0.116–0.194) had CKD by impaired estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). While during discharge 71 (20.58%) medical ward admitted patients with 95%CI: 0.165–0.249) of the patients had CKD by impaired eGFR. This implies about 4.95% of the admitted patients develop kidney disease in hospital during their stay. Therefore, especially, for this resource limited country, screening of kidney disease for admitted patients is essential.
