Worldwide, more than 850 million people are estimated to be living with kidney disease— chronic kidney disease (CKD), acute kidney injury/disease, or kidney failure treated with kidney replacement therapy.1 This burden is increasing. Between 1990 and 2017, the prevalence of CKD increased by 29% and CKD moved from being the 17th to the 12th most common cause of death.2 The burden is also distributed unevenly. The age-standardized disability-adjusted life years lost from CKD is 15 times higher in American Samoa, El Salvador, Federated States of Micronesia, Marshall Islands, and Mauritius than in the best performing high-income countries.
