Hronična bolest bubrega, tiha epidemija – društveni izazov
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the general name for persistent irreversible damage to the kidney.1 It is defined as either structured kidney damage or decreased kidney function (decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR)) observed for 3 or more months.2
HBB je ozbiljno stanje povezano sa preranom smrtnošću, smanjenim kvalitetom života i povećanim troškovima medicinske nege.3 Ona predstavlja ozbiljan izazov za one koji od nje boluju, njihove porodice i pružaoce zdravstvene nege. 1
