Currently, there are approximately 30 million adults in the United States who have chronic kidney disease. 1 Chronic kidney disease, defined by the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guidelines as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) less than 60 ml/min/1.73m 2 for greater than three months, 2 is more common in women, 1 and approximately 72% of patients
