Our result is in accordance with other estimations of CKD prevalence in the general population. Analysis of diverging cases (FP and FN) suggests using health claims data have inherent limitations.

It does not identify patients who have not been diagnosed or whose care is inappropriate or at early stage with stable GFR.
