Facts and figures about chronic kidney disease in the Netherlands 2024.

The report presents facts and figures about several indicators of the burden of chronic kidney disease in the Netherlands. With the expected rise in risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension, overweight and the aging popula􀆟on, more and more people will experience nega􀆟ve consequences of chronic kidney disease in the coming years. Unfortunately, awareness about chronic kidney disease remains low, including in the Netherlands. The Dutch Kidney Founda􀆟on ini􀆟ated an effort to systemically report the burden of chronic kidney disease in the Netherlands to assess its consequences and to improve awareness about the disease. This first report presents figures on the prevalence and incidence of chronic kidney disease in people 18 years and older registered in primary care in the Netherlands. The report also presents the prevalence of common comorbidi􀆟es, their treatment, and the rate of death in those who are known to have chronic kidney disease. This report will be updated regularly, and more data will be added in the coming edi􀆟ons.
