Researchers investigate gender-, socioeconomic status-, and age-based disparities in chronic kidney disease.
By Pooja Toshniwal PahariaAug 21 2023Reviewed by Benedette Cuffari, M.Sc. In a recent study posted to Preprints with the Lancet*, researchers investigate gender-, socioeconomic status-, and age-based disparities in chronic kidney disease and update global CKD estimates.
What is CKD? CKD, a non-communicable illness, is a significant global burden that is influenced by age, socioeconomic status, and gender. Understanding the burden of CKD in older populations is crucial for effective screening and management. Epidemiological, case-control, cross-sectional, and cohort studies were included if they were conducted on the general public aged 18 years or above. Studies conducted in specialist populations, including individuals 18 years or younger, studies that did not report CKD prevalence, and records such as case reports, case series, opinion pieces, and papers, were not included in the analysis.
Study findings Initially, 14,871 records were identified, of which 119 records, including 29,159,948 individuals, were analyzed. Among the included studies, 8%, 44%, and 48% had low, moderate, and high bias risks, respectively. The pooled global CKD prevalence estimate was 13%, whereas a 6.6% prevalence for CKD stages three to five was observed.
Stage-wise CKD prevalence estimates were 3%, 2.9%, 4.1%, 1.3%, 0.4%, and 0.1% for stages one, two, three, four, and five, respectively. The highest prevalence of CKD stages one through five was in Asia at 16%, whereas the highest prevalence of CKD stages three to five was in Oceania and Australia at 8.1%.
