Abstract

Chronic renal failure (CKD) affects approx. 10% of the global population, being a serious public health problem. To detect chronic kidney disease (CKD), it is necessary to evaluate the glomerular filtration rate, because the disease is asymptomatic until the kidneys fail. Evaluation of the glomerular filtration rate based on the determination of the creatinine level is useful for the detection of kidney disease in the early stage. Therapeutic interventions can limit the progression of BCR and the occurrence of complications.
