Surveillance of chronic kidney disease around the world: tracking and reining in a global problem

Abstract
In recent years, there has been a general recognition of the importance of tackling noncommunicable chronic diseases throughout the world and not just in developed nations. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is increasingly recognized as a public health threat, based on its high prevalence, rising incidence, associated complications, and cost. It is imperative that nations develop screening and surveillance programs related to CKD. This article provides a global perspective on existing and emerging CKD surveillance efforts. A variety of programs are described, ranging from cross-sectional screening studies to determine CKD prevalence; targeted screening of high-risk populations presenting for voluntary testing; to more systematic surveillance within the scope of integrated health care systems in many developed nations. The choice of surveillance programs for many countries will depend on available resources and competing health care priorities. Integration with surveillance programs for other major chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity is highly desirable and could be a key to the prevention of CKD. Finally, we propose the model of integrated health systems as one that is perhaps best suited to systematic, longitudinal surveillance of many chronic diseases, a model based on a national electronic health care record with linkage across primary care and hospital-based programs. Robust health education efforts and timely dissemination strategies will remain the key to the success of disease surveillance. It is gratifying to note that more and more countries are developing and adopting CKD surveillance programs as part of national disease prevention strategies.
