The hidden threat: Primary care-driven strategies for earlier chronic kidney disease detection in Australia.

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Six themes were identified to improve early CKD detection: (1) education, audits and supportive technologies; (2) guideline harmonisation and a unified risk calculator; (3) automated pathology integrated into practice software, linked to the CKD management in primary care handbook and decision tools; (4) defined CKD codes reflecting staging and cause; (5) multidisciplinary communication and models of care; and (6) government policy and advocacy to raise public awareness.
