Case History : In developing countries, chronic diseases have become a major problem of global morbidity and mortality. In India, the prevalence of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) was 800 per million population (pmp), and the incidence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) was 150-200 pmp, in 2009. In India, the most common cause of CKD is diabetic nephropathy. As per Indian Council of Medical Research, the prevalence of diabetes has risen and is as high as 28% (over the age of 40 years). Likewise the reported prevalence of hypertension in the adult population today is 17%. With rising prevalence of these diseases in India, prevalence of CKD is expected to rise, and obviously this is the key target population to address. This article discuss the challenges of CKD, in India. Chronic diseases have become a major cause of global morbidity and mortality. In India, the projected number of deaths due to chronic disease will rise from 3.78 million (40.4% of all deaths) in 1990 to an expected 7.63 million (66.7% of all deaths) in 2020. It is estimated that only 10–20% of ESRD patients in India continue longterm RRT. It is estimated that in India in 1 year, there are 3,500 new renal transplant, plus 3,000 new continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) initiation, plus 15,000 new maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. Traditionally, health programs for prevention of chronic disease have mainly focused on hypertension, diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, in developed and developing countries, the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) leading to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) has highlighted the importance of CKD and its risk factors. This article explains the challenges in CKD management in India.
