Chronic kidney Disease (CKD) – Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2023 To 2033

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by kidney damage lasting over three months, indicated by abnormal albumin excretion or decreased kidney function as measured by glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Diabetes and high blood pressure are its primary causes. In children, CKD typically results from structural anomalies or inherited conditions like polycystic kidney disease. CKD is categorized into five stages based on GFR test results. As the stages progress, kidney function declines. Slowing down kidney damage is crucial at each stage. Screening for CKD involves two standard tests: GFR and urine albumin. Metformin is the preferred treatment for type 2 diabetes with CKD, usually starting with an eGFR above 45 mL/min/1.73 m2 and continuing safely until it drops to 30 mL/min/1.73 m2. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists can reduce CKD progression. SGLT-2 inhibitors may slow CKD progression and reduce heart fail...
