May support primary care CKD screening protocols; leaves open RCTs to confirm cardiovascular outcome benefits.
Implementing structured kidney health checks and patient-centered communication in primary care can improve early detection and management of CKD, potentially reducing adverse cardiovascular outcomes.
Robson et al. (2024) conducted a review in Chronic kidney disease (CKD). Early detection and management strategies was evaluated. Early detection and management of chronic kidney disease in primary care, including regular health checks every 1-2 years, are recommended to improve patient outcomes and quality of life.
