Prevalence of chronic kidney disease based on estimated glomerular filtration rate and proteinuria in Icelandic adults

Abstract: GFR estimates and the prevalence of CKD are dependent on the equation used to calculate eGFR. Unexpectedly, a low proportion of the Icelandic population had normal kidney function according to the eGFR regardless of the equation used. These equations may not be useful in epidemiological research.

“…In Europe, Hallan and colleagues 32 (2006) reported an adult population prevalence of 4.7% for CKD based on a single eGFR estimate, and a similar prevalence has been reported in Italy, Switzerland, Spain and Iceland. [33][34][35][36] In the UK, the only population-based survey estimate of CKD prevalence comes from a cohort of men aged 60-79 years and tested in 1998-2000. Wannamethee and colleagues 37 estimated the prevalence of CKD to be 15.7%.…”

“…Part of the studies make use of existing screening programs, most of them initially intended to screen and treat cardiovascular risk factors (3,(5)(6)(7)(8)13,15). In the past 10 yr, however, more and more programs were started with the primary focus to detect individuals who have or are at risk for CKD.…”

“…The list is not intended to be a complete review of all studies, but it presents an overview of various strategies used. The criterion for the diagnosis of CKD in these programs is different, however, and also seems to change from originally a serum creatinine value above a certain cutoff (mostly Ͼ150 mol/L) (4,6,12,18,19) via an estimated GFR (eGFR) Ͻ60 ml/ min (3,8,13,15) to a positive protein dipstick (7,11,16) or even the presence of microalbuminuria (9,10,14,17). The approach in which only data on eGFR are gathered allows detection of Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (K/DOQI) stages 3, 4, and 5.…”

“…A insuficiência renal crônica (IRC) é considerada um dos principais problemas de saúde no mundo, sendo importante causa de morbidade e mortalidade, caracterizada por perdas lentas, progressivas e irreversíveis das funções renais [1][2][3][4][5][6] . Hipertensão arterial sistêmica (HAS), diabetes melito e história familiar de doença renal crônica são os fatores de risco mais prevalentes para desenvolvimento da IRC 3-5,7-10,11 .…”
