Abstract     Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is increasing public health problem in Slovenia and worldwide. Incidence, prevalence and cost of the treatment of the disease and complications of decreased kidney function are increasing. The results of current studies suggest that progression of CKD may be delayed or even prevented by early detection and treatment. The paper presents recent definition of CKD with classification of its stages and some possibilities for primary, secundary and terciary prevention.
