Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Analysis Report Overview
The total prevalent cases of chronic kidney disease (CKD) were 103,485,844 cases in 2021 in the 7 major markets (7MM). The number of cases is expected to increase at an annual growth rate (AGR) of more than 1% during the forecast period. Chronic kidney disease or chronic renal disease, is a condition characterized by a gradual loss of kidney function over time. This leads to the accumulation of excess fluid and waste in the body. In the early stages, chronic kidney disease is a largely asymptomatic condition. As the disease progresses, the symptoms worsen and eventually lead to kidney failure.

Each stage of CKD requires different diagnostic tests and treatments for the management of the disease. Currently, there is no cure for CKD, but treatments can slow the progression of the disease. Additionally, CKD patients are advised to undergo renal replacement therapy (RRT) when the kidneys fail in the advanced stages of the disease. RRT includes renal dialysis and kidney transplantation, which help to sustain and maintain life, blood pressure (BP), the balance of chemicals (electrolytes) for the functioning of the heart and muscles, and the production of vitamin D and red blood cells in CKD patients (Levin et al., 2013).
The chronic kidney disease market research report provides an overview of the risk factors, comorbidities, and global and historical trends for CKD in the seven major markets (7MM: US, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK, and Japan). It also includes a 10-year epidemiological forecast for total prevalent cases and diagnosed prevalent cases of CKD. The total and diagnosed prevalent cases of CKD are further segmented by age, sex, and stage in these markets.

Chronic Kidney Disease Market Segmentation by Age
The chronic kidney disease market can be segmented based on age into 18-29 years, 30-39 years, 40-49 years, 50-59 years, 60-69 years, 70-79 years, and above 80 years.
In 2021, for the 7MM combined, adults ages 70–79 years contributed the highest proportion of the diagnosed prevalent cases of chronic kidney disease followed by the age group 60–69 years and ages 80 years and older.

Chronic Kidney Disease Market Segmentation by Sex
The chronic kidney disease market can be segmented based on sex into men and women.
In the 7MM combined, the number of diagnosed prevalent cases of CKD was higher in women than in men in 2021. However, in Germany and Japan, the number of diagnosed prevalent cases of CKD was observed to be higher in men than in women. France had the smallest variation in the number of diagnosed prevalent cases between men and women.

Chronic Kidney Disease Market Segmentation by Stages
The chronic kidney disease market can be further divided into six stages: stage I, stage II, stage IIIa, stage IIIb, stage IV, and stage V.
In the 7MM, the highest number of diagnosed prevalent cases of CKD was in stage IIIa followed by stages IIIb and stage II. Among the 7MM, Japan had the highest number of diagnosed prevalent cases of CKD in stage IIIa followed by the US. This difference in stage-specific diagnosed prevalent cases might be driven by the varying stage-specific diagnosis rate in the markets.

Chronic Kidney Disease Market Segmentation by Dialysis Dependence Types
The chronic kidney disease market can be divided into two types based on dialysis dependence: non-dialysis dependent and dialysis dependent.
In the 7MM, the US had the highest number of diagnosed prevalent cases of CKD that were non-dialysis dependent followed by Japan and Germany. For dialysis-dependent CKD, the US had the highest number of diagnosed prevalent cases followed by Japan and Germany.
