Abstract:Background:
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) burden is crucial both on a
global scale and at individual patient level, affecting morbidity and mortality
directly and through its effect on both cardiovascular damage and CKD progression
to end-stage-kidney-disease (ESKD). Unfortunately, the awareness of CKD is poor,
with few CKD patients conscious of the severity of their health status. The
principal biomarker of kidney function is estimated glomerular filtration rate
(eGFR).
