Often, chronic kidney disease is diagnosed as a result of screening of people known to be at risk of kidney problems, such as those with high blood pressure or diabetes and those with a blood relative with CKD.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common condition that is more prevalent in the elderly population. Usually CKD in younger patients is associated with loss of kidney function, but of patients over 65 years of age with CKD, 30% do not have progressive disease with loss of kidney function over time. CKD is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and chronic renal failure.
