Evaluating disease burden in chronic kidney disease screening using a micro-simulation model

The results of this study highlight the importance of combining the concepts of integrated prevention and treatment of chronic diseases to improve screening and intervention of CKD for people with hypertension, diabetes, and those aged 65 years and older, thereby effectively reducing the number of patients with end-stage renal disease, lowering the cost of treatment and intervention, and improving the quality of life of the population.
