More than one out of 10 Chinese adults suffer from chronic kidney disease, but the awareness level remains poor, experts warn.

Wang Mei, chief of the renal division of the Peking University People's Hospital, made the remarks at an awareness raising event, one day before World Kidney Day, which fell on March 14 this year.

CKD is a progressive loss in renal function over months or years. Symptoms of worsening kidney function are non-specific at first.
