Projecting the Population Level Burden of CKD Progression According to Urine Albumin-to-Creatinine Ratio Categories.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR) is an independent predictor of chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression. However there is limited evidence on the burden of CKD according to uACR categories at the population level. This study estimates future clinical and financial burden of CKD according to uACR categories using the Inside CKD microsimulation.

Methods

The Inside CKD model is an individual patient level microsimulation that emulates national populations based on demographic, epidemiological, and economic data. The analysis estimates clinical and economic outcomes over time according to the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) uACR categories (A1-A3) at a population level for 31 countries and regions.
