Kidneys in Huddersfield.

Huddersfield · Kirklees local authority · 1 card

Huddersfield is a town, not a statistical area: these figures are for Kirklees local authority as a whole (which includes Huddersfield, Dewsbury, Batley and surrounding towns). Treat them as the wider-area picture, not street-level results.

Moderate-to-severe chronic kidney disease recorded by GPs in Kirklees — a quiet condition worth finding early.

Plain-English context

About 17,515 adults in Kirklees have moderate-to-severe chronic kidney disease (stages G3a–G5) on GP registers. Kidneys usually fail quietly, and high blood pressure and diabetes are the main causes — both manageable when found. Only diagnosed later-stage disease is counted, and a recording change around 2022/23 makes the trend jump, so compare across that break cautiously.
