Early detection of chronic kidney disease through risk assessment and aggressive management of risk factors may prevent or delay its onset.
Highlights the significant and growing public health burden of chronic kidney disease in the United States and emphasizes the importance of early detection and risk factor management.
In Brief Estimates suggest that 30 million Americans have some degree of chronic kidney disease. By 2030, more than 2.2 million people will require treatment for end-stage renal disease, causing a significant impact on healthcare costs in the United States. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major public health concern that is underdiagnosed in the United States. Emerging evidence suggests that early detection of CKD through risk assessment, periodic laboratory evaluations, and aggressive management of risk factors and sequelae associated with this condition, may prevent or delay its onset.
