Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an important contributor to morbidity and mortality from noncommunicable diseases, and is a highly relevant topic in global health.The Global Burden of Disease, Injuries and Risk Factors (GBD) study presents a comprehensive assessment of the global epidemiology of CKD both as a direct cause of mortality and morbidity and as a risk factor for other diseases. The GBD uses term "impaired kidney function (IKF)" to indicate the CKD as a risk factor for ischaemic heart disease, stroke, peripheral vascular disease, and gout, and underline the difference from the term "CKD" itself that refers to a direct cause of morbidity and mortality due to kidney disease.Scientific-Tools.Org created a series of infographics highlighting different aspects of CKD epidemiology at global, regional and country levels.Suggested citation: Bikbov B.
