Abstract:
Primary care providers are often the first to diagnose chronic kidney disease (CKD). CKD progression is associated with significant morbidity, mortality and cost to the public healthcare system. Prompt and appropriate initial evaluation of CKD, recognition of its complications, and instituting appropriate treatment will delay CKD progression and associated adverse outcomes.
