Review on Chronic Kidney Disease Follow up in Primary Health Care

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) refers to a host of different kidney structures and function disorders. It represents a global health issue for people that must be controlled in its first stages according to its 2002 guidelines for defining and classifying. This disease management is categorized based on intensity levels, evaluated from Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR), clinical diagnosis (cause and pathology), and albuminuria. Routine laboratory tests can be used to detect CKD. There are therapies available to curb its progression/prevent its development, mitigate the risk of cardiovascular disease and complications, and increase the overall life quality and survival rate in patients with CKD. The Cochrane, NCBI, Embase, Pubmed, and Medline databases were investigated to get information about patients with CKD. Incidence, etiology, and management options were analyzed. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a condition that is currently affecting an ever-increasing percentage of the general population and has ties to many other chronic conditions such as hypertension and diabetes, which should in part explain the spike as people are living to be generally older. This disease does not display any early signs and symptoms and is often discovered incidentally. CKD leads to end-stage renal failure and possibly death.
