Abstract
Population-based studies of chronic kidney disease (CKD) paint a dismal picture. A recently conducted overview of 26 different studies of diverse populations concluded that the median prevalence of CKD was 7.2% in persons aged 30 years and older; in those aged 64 and older, the prevalence ranged from 23.4 to 35.8% [1]. In conglomerate, these data indicate not only the high prevalence of CKD in the general population but also emphasize the sharp increase in CKD among the ageing population—truly a major health care problem.
