Chronic kidney disease

An estimated 1 in 10 Australian adults (10%)—about 1.7 million people in 2011–12—had biomedical signs of CKD

There were 17,000 deaths with CKD listed as an underlying or associated cause of death in 2017

Half (50%) of all CKD deaths occur at age 85+ and 70% of CKD hospitalisations (excluding dialysis) occur at age 65+

1.8 million hospitalisations were associated with CKD in 2016–17—16% of all hospitalisations in Australia
