The burden of kidney disease: Improving global outcomes

Abstract: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a worldwide public health problem. There is an increasing incidence and prevalence of patients with kidney failure requiring replacement therapy, with poor outcomes and high cost. There is an even higher prevalence of patients in earlier stages of CKD, with adverse outcomes such as kidney failure, cardiovascular disease, and premature death. Patients at earlier stages of CKD can be detected through laboratory testing and their treatment is effective in slowing the progression to… Show more

“…(1,2) Patients continue to die from comorbidities associated with renal dysfunction and the risk of dying far exceeds the risk of entering dialysis. (3) Vascular calcification and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), two pathological findings associated with cardiovascular disease and sudden cardiac death, are detected in early CKD and continue to increase in severity as renal failure advances.…”
