Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is common, costly and often detected too late to be reversible but it is largely preventable. This report compares the most reliable national estimates of the prevalence of CKD to date from two national surveys, incorporating biomedical testings that were undertaken 12 years apart: the 1999–2000 Australian Diabetes, Obesity and Lifestyle Study (AusDiab) and the 2011–12 National Health Measurement Survey (NHMS).

Findings from this report:
-
There was no change in the overall adjusted prevalence rate of CKD between 1999–2000 and 2011–12
-
The number of Australians with stages 3–5 CKD increased significantly between 1999–2000 and 2011–12
-
The proportion of Australians aged 65–74 with CKD was 3 times higher than for those ages 55–64
-
The number of Australians with moderate to severe loss of kidney function has nearly doubled between 1999–2000 & 2011–12
