Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects 10-15% globally and is a marked independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Prevalence estimations are essential for public health planning and implementation of CKD treatment strategies. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence and stages of CKD in the population-based Lolland-Falster Health Study, set in a rural provincial area with the lowest socioeconomic status in Denmark.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects over 13% of the population, totaling more than 800 million individuals worldwide. Timely identification and intervention are crucial to delay CKD progression and improve patient outcomes. This research focuses on developing a predictive model to classify diabetic patients showing signs of kidney function impairment based on their CKD development risk.

Mechanical forces such as glomerular hyperfiltration are crucial in the pathogenesis and progression of diabetic kidney disease. Piezo2 is a mechanosensitive cation channel and plays a major role in various biological and pathophysiological phenomena. We previously reported Piezo2 expression in mouse and rat kidneys and its alteration by dehydration and hypertension.
