“…Asian studies done among general population had shown prevalence of CKD to be 3-5% in southern China, 13% in southern Taiwan, 9.2% in Japan and 5.2% in Indonesia. 24 The community in Delhi on the prevalence of low eGFR was 4.2%. 25 Study done by Weiping Jia among diabetic patients in China revealed a prevalence of 29.6% 26 and a global prevalence of 22% 27 for CKD.…”

“…20 The large size of this study bestows high power to identify factors associated with renal death. Previous attempts to identify risk factors have been hampered by several issues, not the least the large number of renal events required to obtain reliable results and the low rate of reporting kidney disease as a cause of death.…”

“…19 The high incidence and prevalence of kidney disease in the Asia-Pacific region has been identified as a major public health issue by the International Society of Nephrology, the Asian Pacific Society of Nephrology, and other groups. 20 To address this challenge, the Asian Forum of CKD Initiative (APFCKDI) was established in 2007, with the investigation of risk factors for kidney disease in the region as a major priority. Hence, the aim of the current study was to determine risk factors for renal death using data from Ͼ560 000 individuals from the Asia-Pacific region and, by doing so, to highlight possible future targets for intervention.…”

Blood Pressure Is a Major Risk Factor for Renal Death

Abstract-Chronic kidney disease is a major worldwide public health problem that causes substantial morbidity and mortality. Studies from the Asia-Pacific region have reported some of the highest chronic kidney disease prevalence rates in the world, but access to dialysis is limited in many countries, making it imperative to identify high-risk individuals. We performed a participant-level data overview of prospective studies conducted in the Asia-Pacific region to quantify the magnitude and direction of the associations between putative risk factors and renal death. Age-and sex-adjusted Cox proportional hazards models were applied to pooled data from 35 studies to calculate hazard ratios (95% CIs) for renal death associated with a standardized change in risk factors. Among 560 352 participants followed for a median of 6.8 years, a total of 420 renal deaths were observed. Continuous and positive associations among systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, and total cholesterol levels with renal death were observed, as well as a continuous but inverse association with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Systolic blood pressure was the strongest risk factor for renal death with each SD increase in systolic blood pressure (19 mm Hg) associated with Ͼ80% higher risk (hazard ratio: 1.84; 95% CI: 1.60 to 2.12). Neither cigarette smoking nor excess weight was related to the risk of renal death (PϾ0.10). The results were similar for cohorts in Asia and Australia. These results suggest that primary prevention strategies for renal disease should focus on individuals with elevated blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia.

“…On the contrary, however, some countries still lack almost everything necessary for the management of CKD, most notably the nephrologists. Therefore, one of the main purposes of the first meeting was to compile the present status of CKD in Asia, with regard to prevalence, regional problems, and future collaboration [7]. To what extent the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) should be modified to the need of the Asian population was enthusiastically discussed [6,8,10].…”

As an independent meeting, the third Asian Forum of Chronic Kidney Disease Initiatives was held on April 18-19, 2009, in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Nearly 700 participants from 17 countries attended and 78 posters were presented. To begin with, status quo in Asia and in Taiwan was briefed, followed by Theme 1A "Special Epidemiology and Risk Factors", during which the interrelations between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and use of herbs, low birth weight, infections, and immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy were discussed. Theme 1B dealt with both cardiovascular and renal outcomes of CKD patients. In Theme 2, five presenters from different countries shared their experiences on "Cost-effectiveness of Community-based or Nationwide CKD Prevention Programs". In between the conference themes, three international and integrative works--Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes, the World Kidney Day, and Kidney Early Evaluation Program--were presented and possible implications for Asia were suggested. Theme 3 was initiated with a thorough discussion on "Equation of the Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate for Asians" and the preliminary results of a cross-country study were presented. In Theme 4, the care plan, strategies, and outcomes of timely initiation of dialysis in different countries were discussed. The final session started with a concise summary of all speeches and ended with a position statement.
