Abstract

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is defined as abnormalities of kidney structure and function proven to be chronic. The prevalence of CKD in the majority of studies is 10%-16%, neglecting the chronicity character. Jonsson et al., in a nationwide study defining CKD adhering strictly to Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria, found a clearly lower prevalence of CKD (6%). This indicated that to obtain a correct CKD prevalence, one should start by correctly applying the KDIGO guidelines.
