What is Chronic Kidney Disease Overview about?
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is defined as kidney damage or decreased kidney function persisting for more than 3 months. It is staged based on cause, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and albuminuria. Management involves controlling blood pressure and diabetes, monitoring for complications, and considering renal replacement therapy as kidney function declines below stage 4. The global prevalence of CKD is estimated to be 13.4% for stages 1-5 and 10.6% for stages 3-5.
