Another non-invasive method is doppler ultrasound. In spite of this, the issues of early diagnosis of chronic kidney disease remain to the end not studied and not solved, which requires the development of new working algorithms. Keywords: Chronic renal failure, epidemiology, glomerular filtration rate, cystatin C, outcomes.
