This article provides practical advice and resources for primary care practitioners on applying guidelines for the management of chronic kidney disease.
Chronic kidney disease is a common long-term condition often caused by diabetes or hypertension. It rarely causes symptoms in the early stages, but is associated with increased morbidity and mortality and may worsen to end stage kidney disease. The risks of complications can be reduced through early identification, good management and self-management. The number of guidelines relevant to this group of patients can be confusing and this article provides advice about the application of guidelines in practice. It also signposts readers to resources, which can be useful when planning individualised care with patients.
