New chronic kidney disease (CKD) study indicates that CKD is present in one out of ten adults

The AstraZeneca CaReMe CKD is one of the largest and most contemporary real-world studies estimating the prevalence, outcomes and cost of CKD in over 2.4 million CKD patients from 9 countries from Europe, plus Israel and Canada
