Abstract

Introduction

The number of new dialysis acceptance and dialysis prevalence rate in Malaysia has been increasing steadily for the past 10 years, and forecasting models predict that these numbers will continue to increase. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) awareness may slow the progression of CKD. As CKD awareness is dependent upon general knowledge of CKD, assessing the knowledge of CKD of the local population is important, to direct future CKD education efforts.
