Conclusions: Proteinuria and eGFR <60 ml/min per 1.73 m2 were frequently detected among participants in community-based screening carried out on World Kidney Day in the state of Jalisco, Mexico, especially in people over 40 years old. Our data indicate that screening on World Kidney Day may be useful for identifying Jalisco residents with CKD, and suggest that trials of targeted screening and intervention are feasible and warranted.
