Article Synopsis
- The INCIPE study examined the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in 6200 Caucasian patients aged 40 and older in northeastern Italy, revealing a CKD prevalence of 13.2%.
- Comparatively, this prevalence is lower than the 20.3% reported in U.S. Caucasians, largely due to differences in CKD stage 3 rates.
- The study suggests that higher prevalence of renal risk factors in the U.S. contributes to the more significant CKD issue in that population compared to northeastern Italy.
