Lay summary
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) affects 5-7% of adults in the UK. Estimates of the rates of CKD vary depending on the data source (e.g. primary or secondary care, clinical coding or lab data). The UK Renal Registry (UKRR) holds data on people with CKD stages 4 and 5 managed in secondary care from around 20 kidney centres. The aim of this study is to estimate the rate of CKD stages 4 and 5 in the UKRR data and compare that with other published data sources. This study will add to our understanding of the burden of CKD in the UK. It will indicate the completeness of the UKRR CKD data which is invaluable for future audit and research projects.
