In this chapter we explain: Risk assessment using eGFR and proteinuria Competing risks of dialysis and death How a patient’s future may be predicted from their eGFR graph How patients are prepared for end-stage kidney failure How to write clinic letters directly to patients Treatment options for...
Over the past five years there have been dramatic changes to the way in which people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are being managed in primary care. As a result of policy changes there are now many more people with CKD being identified, especially those with stage 3A. This article dea...

So far, we have built some very compelling AI-based serverless applications. With very little code, these systems have an extraordinary amount of capability. You might have observed, however, that our serverless AI applications have many moving parts. We have adhered to the single responsibility ...
adults, the incidence of HF was three-fold higher in individuals with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) 65 years-old) was 7.4 % in non-CKD individuals, whereas in patients with CKD stages 4 and 5 this percentage raised to 42 %. In dialysis patients, the prevalence of HF ...
