TL;DR
The incidence of diagnosed CKD is common, especially in the elderly, and is greater in more deprived areas, and the prognosis is poor, with CVD prominent.
Abstract
The incidence of diagnosed CKD is common, especially in the elderly, and is greater in more deprived areas. Prognosis is poor, with CVD prominent. More research is needed to assess the effectiveness and costs of increasing referral to nephrologists of patients with CKD.

The purpose of this study was to develop an equation from MDRD Study data that could improve the prediction of GFR from serum creatinine concentration, and major clinical decisions in general medicine, geriatrics, and oncology are made by using the Cockcroft-Gault formula and other formulas to predict the level of renal function.

159 Citations1999Cécile Couchoud, N Pozet +2 more
This method is useful to determine a cut-off value for serum creatinine in epidemiological studies concerning early chronic renal failure screening and the value of the glomerular filtration rate of reference and the weight of false positive and false negative results have to be adapted to the aim of the individual study design.
Nephrology Dialysis TransplantationDifferences between women and men with chronic renal disease
155 Citations1998Cecil H. Coggins
The slower mean GFR decline and suggestive evidence of a lesser beneficial effect of the low protein diet and low blood pressure interventions in women suggest that gender differences should be considered in trials of the effects of these interventions on the progression of renal disease.
PubMedProgression of chronic renal failure in man is retarded with more frequent clinical follow-ups and better blood pressure control.
146 Citations1986Jonas Bergström, Anders Alvestrand +2 more
It is concluded that the frequency and presumably the quality of the clinical check-ups, especially with regard to control of hypertension, may favorably influence the progression of chronic renal failure, independently of the protein intake.
