SEE WHY THE PRESSURE IS ON TO
DIAGNOSE CKD IN ITS EARLIER STAGES
HIGH PREVALENCE
LOW DIAGNOSIS
CKD can be a life-threatening condition that is vastly underdiagnosed.3
9 out of 10 people with CKD don’t know they have it – in both developed and developing countries.3
As few as 1 in 10 adults with Stage 3 CKD are diagnosed.1-3
“In many cases, the silent progression of CKD goes unnoticed by healthcare professionals and those at risk. All too often, the heightened threat of CKD to people with diabetes is overlooked. There is a clear need for urgent action to address low awareness of the risk factors and to ensure more is done to promote early detection and intervention.”
