National Kidney Foundation Guidelines for Chronic Kidney Disease: Evaluation, Classification, and Stratification

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

Chronic kidney disease is becoming more prevalent in the United States. The National Kidney Foundation has recently published a new set of guidelines to assist clinicians in providing earlier detection and treatment of kidney disease to minimize the progression to end-stage renal disease. As approximately 11% of the adult population has some degree of kidney disease, this new CPG should be applicable in many settings.
