Prevalence refers to the presence of a health-related condition (e.g., CKD) in a particular population at a specific point in time (point prevalence) or, less frequently, during a specific period (period prevalence); it may be expressed as a count (number of prevalent cases) or as the proportion of cases in the population (prevalence of the condition).

CKD is characterized by a high burden of comorbidities such as cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and others. Many of these conditions can be both a cause and consequence of CKD. In the presence of CKD, outcomes among patients with other comorbidities are typically worse than in the absence of CKD.  The most important consequences of CKD include renal disease progression that has the potential to lead to end stage renal disease (ESRD), or death.

Assessment of the processes of care and practice patterns related to the detection and management of CKD is an integral part of a national CKD surveillance system. Tracking the processes of care related to CKD could be instrumental in facilitating the implementation of early diagnostic steps and institution of appropriate therapies to either prevent the development of disease or slow progression of established disease. Examination of administrative health care data is a cost-efficient method for tracking processes of care in the practice setting.

Inequities related to social determinants of health, such as income, education, food security, access to health care, and environmental factors (e.g., air pollution), have been related to a wide range of health and quality-of-life outcomes. Understanding the role of social and environmental determinants of health at all levels of kidney disease prevention (primary, secondary, and tertiary) is the key to reducing health disparities and improving the quality of health care. The distribution of county-level estimates of chronic kidney disease within the context of important social and environmental factors are visualized in the following maps, based on Medicare beneficiaries aged ≥ 65 years. We will continue to expand this section in subsequent iterations of the kidney disease surveillance website.
