Summary
Chronic kidney disease is growing as a global public health problem. With more than
1.3 billion people, China is the world's largest and most populous country. Understanding
the epidemiology of chronic kidney disease in China could be helpful to predict its
impact on the health care system and to establish comprehensive strategies to reduce
its burden.
