Background: Global projects have informed about the epidemiology of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), yet there are no regional efforts to contrast or advance these global endeavours. We aimed to summarize the CKD prevalence in LAC. Methods: Systematic review, random-effects meta-analysis and meta-regression. We searched Embase, Medline, Global Health, Scopus and LILACS (January 11th, 2021). We included observational studies which enrolled a random sample of the general population in LAC. The outcome was CKD prevalence, which should have been defined by eGFR and/or with a biomarker. Results: The search identified 5,050 publications and 15 reports (16 studies) were included. The prevalence of CKD defined with eGFR only, ranged between 1.7%-20.0%; the pooled prevalence was 7.0% (95% CI: 5.0%-10.0%; I2: 99%). This pooled prevalence was similar between national and non-national studies: 8.0% (95% CI: 4.0%-12.0%; I2: 99%) and 7.0% (95% CI: 3.0%-10.0%; I2: 99%). This pooled prevalence was similar between men and women: 10.0% (95% CI: 5.0%-14.0%; I2: 98%) and 8.0% (95% CI: 4.0%-13.0%; I2: 99%). The CKD prevalence defined with eGFR and/or other biomarkers, ranged between 12.0%-16.8%; the pooled prevalence was 13.0% (95% CI: 9.0%-17.0%; I2: 98%). In meta-regressions, the CKD prevalence was weakly correlated with the year of data collection. Conclusions: In LAC, the CKD prevalence is non-negligible and similar to that of other non-communicable diseases which has received more attention (e.g., diabetes). Research is needed to generate more epidemiological data on CKD throughout LAC.
