..., and decreased quality of life. In Portugal, the PREVADIAB study showed a prevalence of CKD stages 3–5 of 6.1%. To overcome the limitations of the PREVADIAB study, the RENA study aimed to provide an estimate of the prevalence of CKD at a national level and to characterize CKD patients. Methods: This was a cross...

..., the current data on the epidemiologic features of CKD in Taiwan are incomplete. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the prevalence and incidence of CKD in a population-based study and then estimate the average dwelling time (ADT) in the main clinical burden of CKD (stages 3–5). Methods: A prospective cohort...

... performed an analysis of gender disparities in the prevalence of all CKD stages and renal replacement therapy (defined as impaired kidney function [IKF]) in 195 countries. Methods: We used estimates produced by the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2016 revision using a Bayesian-regression analytic tool...

... of patients on replacement therapy rose from 103 to 208 per million, in two regions from about 130 to 250, and in five regions from about 90 to 190 per million. The prevalence graphs for all regions run parallel due to higher mortality rates in the regions with high incidence of replacement therapy. About 50...

.... Data on the prevalence and the late clinical problems of these patients are limited. Methods: We observed 177 paediatric patients with isolated or complex HTD between 1969 and 1994. The median age at the time of diagnosis was 3 (range 0–18) years and the median observation period 10 (range 1–43) years...
