[Is chronic kidney disease (CKD) a problem of great epidemiological relevance?].
In this article some of the novelties published in 2007 on epidemiological aspects of chronic kidney disease are reviewed. Specifically, some studies on the suitability of current methods for measurement of glomerular filtration rate, the estimated current prevalence of chronic kidney disease and the influence of age and NSAIDs on progression of this disease are discussed. Finally, various recent publications on the role of chronic kidney disease as a cardiovascular risk factor are summarized.
