Chronic Kidney Disease in Queensland (CKD.QLD Registry)

CKD.QLD Registry overview

Chronic kidney disease [CKD] is recognised as a global public health problem. Until relatively recently, the majority of information informing on CKD has been generated from renal registries reporting on patients with end-stage kidney disease [ESKD] and on renal replacement therapy [RRT]. There has been a paucity of information on pre-dialysis CKD cohorts, and many issues related to these poorly described populations are unresolved. To this end, international organizations have called for CKD surveillance systems across all countries.
