Early Identification And Management Of Chronic Kidney Disease Early stage (stage 1 3) chronic kidney disease (ckd) has an asymptomatic presentation such that most people with ckd are unaware of their disease status and remain undiagnosed. ckd is associated with multiple long term conditions (mltc), or multimorbidity, the most common of these being cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes. The publication of an internationally accepted definition and classification of chronic kidney disease (ckd) 12 years ago precipitated a proliferation of research and literature surrounding the identification of ckd, risk factors for progression, and important prognostic factors.1 it also stimulated continuing debate concerning the criteria used for definition of ckd and exactly how ageing.
