Chronic Kidney Disease: Current Scenario of diagnosis and treatment in India

Abstract

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is one of the most burdensome disease with high mortality rate globally. Even though there are diagnostically accepted markers for the detection of CKD, the unreliability of the non-specific marker is a lacuna in the clinical world for an early prognosis and prevention of this chronic disease. Further, the economically challenging conventional treatment options available currently are a burden for many low-income countries to overcome this disease. This article discusses the current treatment scenario for CKD, and limitations of the diagnostic and treatment options available for CKD.
