2024年7月31日 · Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by the presence of kidney damage or an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m², persisting for 3 months or more. CKD involves a progressive loss of kidney function, often leading to the need for renal replacement therapy, such as dialysis or transplantation.

The evidence presented here elucidates several clinical unmet needs: for example, well-defined guidelines for use by primary care physicians, internists, and nephrologists; early identification, prevention, and management of patients at risk for CKD (pre-CKD); “on-time” referral to a nephrologist when patients with early CKD are progressing ...

This review of the burden of CKD summarizes available evidence of the clinical, humanistic, and economic burden of CKD and the current unmet need for new treatments and serves as a resource on the overall burden. Across countries, CKD prevalence varies considerably and is dependent upon patient characteristics.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects more than 1 in 7 U.S. adults—an estimated 35.5 million Americans. 1 For Americans with diabetes or high blood pressure —the two most common causes of kidney disease —the risk for CKD is even greater.

2021年3月12日 · Prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) varies around the world. Little is known about the discrepancy between the general population's needs and nephrology care offered. We aimed to contribute to filling this gap and propose a means to infer the number of patients needing follow-up.

2023年9月11日 · Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is when the kidneys have become damaged over time (for at least 3 months) and have a hard time doing all their important jobs. CKD also increases the risk of other health problems like heart disease and stroke. Developing CKD is usually a very slow process with very few symptoms at first.

2024年1月19日 · Kidney disease, also known as “chronic kidney disease (CKD),” causes more deaths each year than breast cancer or prostate cancer. It is the under-recognized public health crisis. American Cancer Society (ACS). Key Statistics for Breast Cancer in Men. Last Revised January 19, 2024. [“About 530 men will die from breast cancer.”]

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the 16th leading cause of years of life lost worldwide. Appropriate screening, diagnosis, and management by primary care clinicians are necessary to prevent adverse CKD-associated outcomes, including cardiovascular disease, end-stage kidney disease, and death.

2025年3月13日 · Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major global public health problem with increasing prevalence and a huge health and economic burden. ... The findings highlight the need for a multifaceted approach to the prevention and management of CKD, including population-level interventions targeting risk factors, improved access to health services, and ...

2023年2月28日 · Our results highlight high unmet needs of CKD and T2D, particularly subgroups of patients with multimorbid CVD, high-risk CKD (low estimated glomerular filtration rate or high urinary albumin:creatinine ratio) or rapidly progressing CKD. Low initiation and high discontinuation of recommended treatme …
