What is it about?
Chronic kidney disease is an emergent worldwide public health problem. The increasing incidence of chronic renal failure warrants a need for an epidemiological approach to better understand the disease and its prevention. While statistics have been identified concerning world demographics, there is not enough information on how to better prevent and screen for this disease.

Why is it important?
There is evidence on the global distribution suggesting that chronic renal failure is a growing issue in developed and developing countries. While screening and intervention can prevent chronic kidney disease, awareness of the disorder, however, remains low in many communities and among many healthcare workers
Perspectives
Chronic renal failure is a global issue. While there is still no cure, it is evident that further funding and research is needed to understand the disease, create enhanced screening tools and methods, and education so more can be learned in hopes of better prevention and an ultimate cure.
