A new analysis based on this study estimates morbidity and mortality owing to chronic kidney disease (CKD) and impaired kidney function at the global, regional and national levels.
" The main aim of the GBD study is to provide policy makers worldwide with up-to-date information on health outcomes that are comparable between diseases, combining information on deaths and non-fatal disease," explains Boris Bikbov, co-corresponding author on the new analysis." The United Nations sustainable development goals aim to reduce premature mortality from non-communicable diseases by one-third by 2030, and our estimates suggest that targeting CKD will be an important consideration for reaching these goals."
