Prevalence of Undertreated CKD among Hospital Inpatients: A Prospective Cross-Sectional Study.

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study checked how many hospital patients had kidney disease that was not being treated. It found that many people with stage 3b to 5 kidney disease were missed by doctors. This shows a link between hospital stays and missed diagnoses, but it does not prove that hospital visits cause the disease.
