Objective: To analyze the morbidity and mortality profile for chronic kidney disease in the Baixada Maranhense region from 2013 to 2023. Methods: An epidemiological, descriptive, and ecological study based on secondary data from hospital admissions and deaths recorded in the Unified Health System for chronic kidney disease in the 21 municipalities of the Baixada Maranhense region. The number of hospitalizations, deaths, sex, age group, and case fatality rate were analyzed. Frequencies, percentages, and rates were calculated, and the correlation between the indicators was assessed using Spearman's coefficient. Results: There were 1,515 hospitalizations and 122 deaths during the period. An increase in hospitalizations was observed throughout the historical series, with reductions in 2020 and 2021 and a resumption in 2022. Men predominated in hospitalizations and deaths. Hospitalizations were concentrated among individuals aged 50 to 59 years, while deaths were more frequent among individuals aged 60 to 69 years. Conclusion: Chronic kidney disease showed a growing trend and uneven distribution in the region, highlighting the need to strengthen primary care and expand access to specialized services.
