Highlights
Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education: Globally, the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 2 or lower reported to be approximately 18.5 and 58.3 per million children
Pediatric CKD imposes a large burden on society that is increasing despite ongoing efforts to control the disease
The burden is unevenly distributed by race and economic status

Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education: Globally, the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 2 or lower reported to be approximately 18.5 and 58.3 per million children. It seems that the best approach to the problem of the under-diagnosis of CKD is to ensure that all health care professionals, both generalists and specialists, understand the importance of the early detection of kidney disease.
