Abstract

Up to 16 percent of the world’s population has chronic kidney disease, the leading causes of which are diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and ageing. Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is classified by severity, like any CKD into five GFR categories (G1-G5) and three albuminuria categories (A1-A3).
