What this means

About 9,607 adults registered with a GP in Westmorland and Furness live with moderate-to-severe chronic kidney disease. Kidneys usually fail quietly — high blood pressure and diabetes are the main causes, and both can be managed.

95% confidence interval: 4.8–5.0 %. Source denominator: 197,146 patients registered at GP practices in the area (Persons, 18+ yrs); not necessarily residents and not a survey sample.

Caveats

  • Only diagnosed stages G3a–G5; early-stage and undiagnosed CKD are missing.
  • A coding-driven jump around 2022/23 affects the trend — compare across that break cautiously.
  • Not age-adjusted; kidney disease rises steeply with age.
  • Patients are assigned by GP practice location, not necessarily residence. The selected local-authority feed is 2024/25; it is not the newer national QOF release.
  • Lower register prevalence can mean under-detection. Not ranked.
