How fast does Chronic kidney disease progress?

Progression of Chronic kidney disease is variable, depending on the population being studied, underlying disease, adequacy of therapy, presence of risk factors, and unknown factors.

To provide perspective on Chronic kidney disease progression, it is important to note the decline in kidney function in various populations.

A decline in kidney function of 0.3 to 1.0 mL/min per 1.73 m 2 per year has been demonstrated in those without proteinuria or comorbidity.

In patients with established Chronic kidney disease, rates of progression vary between 2.5 and 4.5 mL/min per 1.73 m 2 per year, with rapid progression defined as rates of more than 5 mL/min per 1.73 m 2 per year.
