Then we must impart the information to the patient in an informative and appropriate way in order that we can then offer tailored strategies to prevent progression of the kidney disease and ameliorate the complications of CKD.Smith, James
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) can have a variety of different presentations depending on the stage of the disease and its cause, as well as patient factors such as age. A detailed history and physical examination is essential. In addition to routine laboratory studies, the workup should include...

4. Ultrasound of the kidney The ultrasound is a simple, effective and inexpensive test in the diagnosis of CKD. Shrunken kidneys are diagnostic of chronic kidney disease. However, normal or even large kidneys are seen in CKD caused by adult polycystic kidney disease, diabetic nephropathy and am...
The frequency of eGFR monitoring in patients with CKD is based on the risk of disease progression as assessed using eGFR and urine ACR (kidney profile).1 For a summary for recommended monitoring frequencies, please refer to Laboratory Testing for Chronic Kidney Disease Diagn...
Ultrasound:Ultrasound is often used in the diagnosis of kidney disease. An ultrasound is a noninvasive type of imaging test. In general, kidneys are shrunken in size in chronic kidney disease, although they may be normal or even large in size in cases caused by adult polycystic kidney disease...
Chronic kidney disease can be managed and treated before serious harm is done. This requires a very early diagnosis and intervention. If treatment is delivered quickly enough, the prognosis is unlikely to includekidney failure. Here are some common ways to test for the disease: ...
This review aims to identify barriers and enablers to the effective detection, diagnosis, disclosure and management of CKD since the introduction of the Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (KDOQI) classification in 2002, advocating for a renewed approach in response to updated Kidney Disease: ...
In the early stages of CKD, patients may not have many signs or symptoms, impacting the diagnosis and management of the disease. CKD may not become apparent until kidney function is significantly impaired. However, there are certain signs that people with diabetes may be developing CKD that can...
