Section 1: CKD Epidemiology

The Problem

Chronic Kidney Disease is an epidemic worldwide– Growth 6-8% per annum of dialysis patients

Accumulating data re: possibility of delaying the progression of kidney disease, using multiple drug and behaviour intervention therapies.

Under-recognition at earlier stages of kidney dysfunction persists – Late referral– Lost opportunities for improved patient outcomes

NICE: 2008 Classification of CKDwaking up to the impact of proteinuria

• Stage 1: GFR>90 + abnormal urinalysis • Stage 2: GFR 60-89 + abnormal

urinalysis• Stage 3A: GFR 45-59• Stage 3B: GFR 30-44• Stage 4: GFR 15-29• Stage 5: GFR <15 or dialysis dependent

Suffix P denotes presence of proteinuria (ACR>30 or PCR>50)
