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.
慢性肾脏病(CKD)的定义为肾脏结构和功能异常,且证实为慢性。在大多数研究中,CKD 的患病率为 10%-16%,忽略了慢性特征。Jonsson 等人在一项全国性研究中,严格按照肾脏疾病:改善全球预后(KDIGO)标准定义 CKD,发现 CKD 的患病率明显较低(6%)。这表明,要获得正确的 CKD 患病率,首先应正确应用 KDIGO 指南。
