Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD): Progressive loss of kidney function over months or years, characterized by decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and/or evidence of kidney damage, such as proteinuria or structural abnormalities, persisting for more than 3 months.
Insufficient Renal Function (IR): Reduced kidney ability to filter waste and maintain fluid-electrolyte balance, often indicated by elevated serum creatinine and decreased GFR.
Prevalence & Risk Factors: High prevalence linked to diabetes (over 61%), obesity, sedentary lifestyle, and hypertension; significant contributor to cardiovascular morbidity.
Complications: Include cardiovascular disease, anemia, mineral and bone disorders, and foot ulcers; CKD increases risk of end-stage renal disease (ESRD).
Epidemiology: Increasing global burden; in Argentina, CKD prevalence is notable, with a high rate of associated comorbidities like diabetes and hypertension.
