What to know
* More than 1 in 7 U.S. adults has chronic kidney disease (CKD), though most do not know it.
* CKD is caused by damaged kidneys that cannot properly filter blood, causing fluids and waste to build up in the body.
* CKD usually gets worse over time, but treatment and lifestyle changes can slow it down.
* Public health strategies—from public and provider education, to monitoring CKD and its risk factors—can promote kidney health.

Summary
The number of patients with newly registered end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), or kidney failure, increased from 94,466 in 2000 to 134,862 in 2019 (43% increase).1 However, there were 130,522 newly registered ESRD cases in 2020, representing about a 3.2% decrease from 2019.1 The age, sex, and race/ethnicity adjusted incidence of ESKD increases with age. In 2020, the incidence was 12 per million population (pmp) among individuals aged 0–17 years, while it was 1,447 pmp among individuals aged ≥75 years.1 Diabetes and hypertension are the leading causes of ESKD in the United States. Diabetes and chronic heart failure accounted for about 60% and 28%, respectively, of new cases of ESKD in 2020.1 Chronic kidney disease can be detected early through simple blood and urine tests. Taking medications, making lifestyle changes, and keeping blood sugar and blood pressure under control can help prevent chronic kidney disease and other diabetes complications.2
Notes
The ESKD population includes dialysis and kidney transplant recipients. The estimates are based on Census Bureau and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Medical Evidence Form (CMS 2728) data collections.3 The denominator is the general population and is not specific to the population at risk of developing ESKD. Since data are available only for patients whose ESKD therapies are reported to CMS, patients who die of ESKD before receiving treatment or whose therapies are not reported to CMS are not included in the United States Renal Data System (USRDS) database.
