The simple answer is that there is no answer to this question. We do not have these statistics for South Africa and need to extrapolate from other countries at present (eg USA (NHANES) and the Netherlands (PREVEND)

By the way, who are you new member mothoat?

Trevor

Those were exactly my thoughts regarding CKD statistics in SA, thank you for the verification.
