Definition
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) defines a broad spectrum of disorders that disturb the structural or functional integrity of the kidney. Given the variety of underlying etiologies, varying severity, and different rates of progression the term only loosely outlines a very complex group of diseases. In 2000, a new definition of chronic kidney disease was introduced that ushered a shift from considering the disease an end-stage life threatening entity to a more prevalent entity of variable stages requiring early detection and preventative measures, in addition to management. [1] CKD was defined as: [2]

The KDOQI work group also recognized persons with a GFR between 60 to 89 mL/min/1.73 m2 without any evidence of kidney damage as having decreased GFR with several possible etiologies: [2]
- Age (infants and older adults)
- Vegetarian diet
- Unilateral nephrectomy
- Extracellular volume depletion
- Reduced kidney perfusion (heart failure and cirrhosis)
