Implication

Epidemiological review uncovers escalating premature mortality in chronic kidney disease, highlighting the urgent need for dedicated collaborative research networks.

Key Points

Highlight the substantial, underrecognized burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD) on premature mortality and advocate for dedicated collaborative research funding networks.
Epidemiological analysis of mortality rates, life expectancy deficits, and projected disease burdens for CKD and kidney replacement therapy (KRT) globally and in Spain.
Review of public health initiatives and national research infrastructure, evaluating funding gaps in specialized biomedical research networks (CIBER vs. RICORS).
Individuals undergoing KRT face an annual mortality rate 10- to 100-fold higher than similar-age peers, with life expectancy reduced by ~40 years for young dialysis patients and ~15 years for young transplant recipients.
CKD is projected to rise to the fifth leading cause of death globally by 2040 and the second leading cause in Spain before 2100, at which point one in four Spaniards will be affected.
