Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common condition characterized by evidence of kidney damage or dysfunction, as well as an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. The clinicians look for markers of renal damage to diagnose CKD in people with eGFRs of ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 .
An early diagnosis and immediate nephrology referral are key steps in management as it enables predialysis education, allow implementation of preventive measures that delay or even halt the progression of CKD to end stage renal disease, as well as decrease initial morbidity and mortality. This video talks about "Early Detection And screening Of CKD".
