PY - 2019 T2 - Pathophysiology of Disease: An Introduction to Clinical Medicine, 8e AB - Kidney disease contributes significantly to the global burden of disease, both in developing and developed countries. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that in the United States, more than 10% of people 20 years of age and older (more than 20 million individuals) have chronic kidney disease. In addition, many more people suffer from acute kidney injury and other forms of kidney disease annually. Thus, clinicians of all specialties will encounter patients with renal disorders, and it behooves us to be aware of the various risk factors and causes of kidney disease. This is particularly important because with early detection and appropriate management, most forms of kidney disease can be treated to prevent or at least slow the rate of progression to kidney failure or other complications.
