Chronic Kidney Disease | Pharmacor | G7 | 2015

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a general term for a set of heterogeneous disorders that negatively affect the function and structure of the kidney. It is characterized by a progressive loss of function and can lead to end-stage renal disease (ESRD), necessitating dialysis. The most common causes of CKD are diabetes and hypertension. As the prevalence of hypertension and diabetes continues to increase, so too does the prevalence of CKD and the cost to national healthcare systems for treating these patients. Thus, the commercial opportunity for drugs with proven efficacy in delaying the progression of this condition and/or treating its symptoms is considerable.
