Kidney Disease Prevalence – A World Epidemic
Every year, millions of people battle kidney disease. There are many different types of this disease, but the most common, which is increasing every year at a rate of six to eight percent, is chronic kidney disease.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) attacks the kidneys slowly and progressively over a period of time. It can take years for the damage to these organs to be noticeable because there are no symptoms, which is why the disease is often called the “silent killer.”
