Prevalence of early stages of chronic kidney disease in apparently healthy central government employees in India

摘要

Background. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. US data show that 11–15.6% of population has CKD, but there is no data from India on early stages of CKD. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of early stages of CKD using the Kidney Disease Quality Outcomes Initiative (KDOQI) guidelines in an Indian population.
