摘要:The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) increased by 88% from 1990 to 2016. Age of onset of lifestyle-related diseases (such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, obesity, dyslipidemia, and hyperuricemia), which are risk factors for incident CKD, is lower now compared with the past. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the risk factors for the incidence and progression of CKD in the young and middle-aged population. There are differences in the risk for CKD among the young, middle-aged, and elderly populations. We aimed to assess obesity (which is basic component of metabolic syndrome), waist circumference, and abdominal adiposity, which are predictive factors of CKD in the younger population. Furthermore, we described the management and clinical evidence of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and hyperuricemia for young and middle-aged patients, along with diet management and nutrients associated with kidney function. Kidney function in the young and middle-aged population is mostly normal, and they are considered a low-risk group for incident CKD. Thus, we expect this review to be useful in reducing the prevalence of CKD.
