Global Rise in Chronic Kidney Disease Highlights Need for Early Detection
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects approximately 800 million people worldwide and is a leading cause of death, often progressing silently without early symptoms. A recent meta-analysis highlights a rise in CKD cases from 378 million in 1990 to 788 million in 2023, with 1.5 million deaths reported in 2023. Doctors emphasize the importance of regular check-ups and healthy lifestyles to detect and manage CKD early, as late diagnosis can lead to severe complications requiring dialysis or transplantation.
