“…According to an estimate, about 13% of Japanese adults-approximately 13.3 million people -had CKD in 2005 6) . GFR is recognized as the best overall measure of kidney function, and its normal value depends on age, sex, and body mass 7,8) . A GFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 , which is associated with a gradual increase in the risk for CVD, ESRD, and mortality, is the threshold value for the definition of CKD 8) .…”

“…The absolute upper limit of 'normal' serum creatinine value varied between laboratories and was vulnerable to patient characteristics such as age, sex, race, size, muscle bulk, diet, etc., 12,13 and various cut-off thresholds to define CKD had been reported. 14,15 The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) has become the most accepted test to assess filtration. 12 GFR defined as 'the volume of plasma from which a given substance is completely cleared by glomerular filtration per unit time', can be measured by assessing the clearance of exogenous or endogenous markers.…”

HTA NIHR Health Technology Assessment programmeT he Health Technology Assessment (HTA) programme, part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was set up in 1993. It produces high-quality research information on the effectiveness, costs and broader impact of health technologies for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined as all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care.The research findings from the HTA programme directly influence decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC). HTA findings also help to improve the quality of clinical practice in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service'. The HTA programme is needs led in that it fills gaps in the evidence needed by the NHS. There are three routes to the start of projects...
