The diagnostic criteria for chronic kidney disease that uses the standard estimated glomerular filtration rate threshold of 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 regardless of one’s age may lead to overdiagnosis ...

A new definition of chronic kidney disease labels over 1 in 8 adults and around half of people over 70 years of age as having the disease. Yet low rates of kidney failure suggest many of those ...

Despite its profound impact on patient health, anemia of chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains underdiagnosed and undertreated.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a worldwide public health problem that affects 26 million Americans in the U.S., with 600,000 requiring dialysis or kidney transplantation.

Since their publication in 2002, the K/DOQI clinical practice guidelines for the definition and classification of chronic kidney disease (CKD) have been largely accepted, but some controversy remains.
