Abstract : Chronic kidney disease (CKD) presents a global public health challenge, imposing both social and economic burdens. In the United States (US) in the year 2000, around 30 million individuals were diagnosed with CKD. However, the precise prevalence of CKD in India remains uncertain, with limited data available from only three population-based studies addressing the issue. The recently established CKD registry of India by the Society of Nephrology (ISN) is anticipated to offer valuable epidemiological insights in the future. In a prevention study conducted in Chennai (Tamil Nadu), the community-level prevalence was approximately 8,600 per million population in the study group and 13,900 per million population in the control group. Another study in Delhi indicated a CKD prevalence (based on serum creatinine exceeding 1.8 mg%) of 7,852 per million population. A study in Bhopal reported an incidence of 151 per million population for individuals suffering from end-stage renal disease (ESRD) [1].
