Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects over 20 million individuals in the United States and 752 million individuals worldwide. 1 Progressive kidney disease that leads to the need for dialysis (end-stage renal disease or ESRD) or transplantation affects over 700, 000 individuals in the United States. CKD is defined as abnormalities of kidney structure or function present for >3 months, with stratification based on estimated glomerular filtration rate category and the magnitude of albuminuria. 2 The Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes group has updated the classification of CKD and changed the term “stage” to “grade, " as not all kidney disease is progressive, and noted that the presence or absence of albuminuria can greatly influence prognosis. 3 In this chapter, we describe in brief the primary nutritional and metabolic derangement in children and adults with CKD.
