Abstract
The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) (1) has increased dramatically in recent years, and is unfortunately expected to continue to increase. Increased CKD prevalence is closely related to rapid increase in hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and metabolic syndrome as well as the aging society (1,2).
