Sex-specific temporal trends in incidence and prevalence of chronic kidney disease: a Danish population-based cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Rates of chronic kidney disease (CKD) may change with ageing populations, rising metabolic and cardiovascular disease prevalence, increasing CKD awareness and new treatments. We examined sex-specific temporal trends in CKD incidence and prevalence from 2011 through 2021.

We identified individuals with incident or prevalent CKD, using data on plasma creatinine and urine albumin-creatinine ratios from samples performed in outpatient hospital settings or primary care. We estimated annual sex-specific crude and age-standardized incidence and prevalence and
