Renal Diet Cookbook

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major public health problem. A systematic review, based on population studies from developed countries, described an average prevalence of 7.2% (individuals over 30 years old). According to EPIRCE study data, it affects approximately 10% of the Spanish adult population and more than 20% of those over 60 years of age, and also, it is surely underdiagnosed. In patients followed in Primary Care with diseases as frequent as arterial hypertension (AHT) or diabetes mellitus (DM), the prevalence of CKD can reach 35-40%.
