Background: Considering that the effect of alcohol consumption trend on the prevalence of kidney damage and its progression has not been determined yet, the study aimed at investigating the association between alcohol consumption and the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) prevalence and progression at various stages of the disease. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 3374 participants that referred to health-care centers in Isfahan from 2017 to 2019. Participants' basic and clinical characteristics (such as sex, age, education level, marital status, body mass index, blood pressure, alcohol consumption, comorbidities, and laboratory parameters) were evaluated and recorded. The alcohol consumption trend was classified as never, occasional (<6 drinks/week), and frequent (≥6 drinks/week) based on the amount of alcohol consumption over the last 3 months. Moreover, CKD stages were recorded based on the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes guideline, as well. Results: In the present study, the occasional and frequent drinking of alcohol did not have a significant effect on the odds of CKD prevalence (odds ratio [OR]: 1.32 and 0.54; P > 0.05) and the odds of stage 2 CKD prevalence as compared to stage 1 CKD prevalence (OR: 0.93 and 0.47; P > 0.05). However, adjusting the confounding factors revealed that occasional drinking as compared to nondrinking increased the odds of stage 3 and 4 CKD prevalence as compared to stage 1 CKD prevalence by 3.35 folds, respectively (P < 0.05). Conclusion: According to the results of this study, occasional drinking as compared to nondrinking significantly increased the odds of stage 3 and 4 CKD prevalence as compared to stage 1 CKD prevalence.
