Global trends of chronic kidney disease from 1990 to 2021: a systematic analysis for the global burden of disease study 2021
The global burden of CKD continued to rise due to aging populations, increasing risk factors, and improved detection. While some regions showed success in reducing CKD mortality, widening disparities demanded urgent attention. Early-stage disease and modifiable risks offered prevention opportunities, but realizing this required sustained healthcare investment, especially in resource-limited settings. Therefore, coordinated efforts addressing both risk factors and disease management would be essential to reduce its growing burden.
