The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is increasing in the West, with recent studies suggesting that over 10% of the population may have some form of CKD. A significant proportion of these patients will progressively lose renal function and finally require either dialysis or transplantation. Therefore, many initiatives exist to encourage early identification of patients with CKD and minimisation of the risk factors that predispose to progressive loss of function.
