Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) significantly affects at-risk populations, with prevalence rates of 1 in 5 diabetics, 1 in 6 individuals with hypertension, and 1 in 5 elderly adults over 80 without hypertension or diabetes. CKD is defined by kidney damage lasting over three months, indicated by abnormal structure seen through imaging, or abnormal function detected in urine or blood tests, with ORGFR < 60. It is crucial to screen all high-risk individuals and those over 55 for timely intervention and management of this serious condition.
