Retrospective cohort study reports 5-year outcomes of kidney disease in adults, suggesting needs for better monitoring.

To describe the 5-year outcomes of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in a population-based cohort.
Conducted a retrospective cohort study using linked pathology and hospital data.
Included adults with incident CKD from 2006 to 2022.
CKD stages were defined by estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFR).
Outcomes were assessed over 5 years using a competing risks framework.
At 5 years, 16.8% of mild, 26.7% of moderate, and 30.5% of severe CKD patients died.
Kidney failure rates at 5 years were 0.6% for mild, 2.5% for moderate, and 30.0% for severe CKD.
CKD progression was more common than regression in mild (20.1% vs. 11.8%) and moderate (18.9% vs. 14.5%) CKD.
Less than 35% of patients received albuminuria testing.

Thomas et al. (2026) studied this question.
