Chronic kidney disease encompasses a spectrum of different pathophysiological process and is defined as abnormalities of kidney structure or function, present for >3 months, with implications for health 10% of the population worldwide is affected by chronic kidney disease and millions die each year because they do not have access to affordable treatment.1 According to the 2010 Global Burden of Disease study, chronic kidney disease was ranked 27th in the list of causes of total number of deaths worldwide in 1990, but rose to 18th in 2010. This degree of movement up the list was second only to that for HIV and AIDs.2
Over 2 million people worldwide currently receive treatment with dialysis or a kidney transplant to stay alive, yet this number may only represent 10% of people who actually need treatment to live.3
