For each individual with DS, we sampled 10 age- and sex-matched individuals without DS from the general Danish population. We used laboratory data on plasma creatinine from the 1990s until 2024 to assess AKI and CKD and computed the cumulative incidence (risk) of AKI and CKD by age. Furthermore, we estimated the risk of AKI and CKD in individuals without congenital heart disease (CHD).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We identified 2815 individuals with DS and available laboratory data on plasma creatinine measurements. Comparing individuals with DS to the matched cohort, the risk of AKI was 28.9% vs 1.4% at age 20, 32.8% vs 5.3% at age 40 years, and 48.6% vs 23.8% at age 70 years. The risk of CKD was 1.2% vs 0.1% at age 20, 3.9% vs 0.4% at age 40 years, and 23.2% vs 13.8% at age 70 years. For individuals without CHD, the risk of AKI and CKD remained considerably higher for individuals with DS than for matched individuals.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Individuals with DS were at increased risk of both AKI and CKD compared with the general population.
