Approximately 1 in 3 Australians are at risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) which accounts for around 17% of hospitalisations and 11% of all deaths. Because 90% of kidney function can be lost before symptoms manifest, only 10% of people with CKD are aware they have this condition. This means that over 1.5 million Australians are unaware they likely have CKD yet it is still under-recognised and may go undiagnosed.Prevention, early detection and treatment are especially important for kidney disease because chronic kidney damage is most often permanent. The two most common and significant risk factors of CKD are diabetes and high blood pressure, which are responsible for up to two-thirds of cases.
