Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is set in 5 stages of increasing severity with a decrease in glomerular filtration rate leading to end stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring a treatment of substitution, dialysis or transplantation. CKD is frequent, it increases with age, and affects one person out of 10 in the general population, and only 4 per 100,000 will reach end-stage renal disease (ESRD). ⋯ In France, more than 4 billion Euros per year, i.e. 2% of the overall health expenditures, are dedicated to the treatment of 0.11% of the population. It is, therefore at the early stages of CKD that the efforts of screening and prevention of ESRD should be targeted.
