Diabetes and Endocrinology:
Currently, in Thailand, approximately 8.9% of the population is affected by diabetes, which is a major cause of various complications. These complications include diabetic retinopathy, coronary artery disease, stroke, and chronic kidney disease. Specifically, chronic kidney disease is prevalent in more than 36% of cases related to diabetes.
