Chronic kidney disease: detect, diagnose, disclose-a UK primary care perspective of barriers and enablers to effective kidney care.
BMC Med
August 2024
Donal O'Donoghue Renal Research Centre, Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust, Manchester, UK.
Article Synopsis
- * The review discusses barriers and facilitators to CKD detection and management since the KDOQI classification was introduced, calling for a revised strategy aligned with the upcoming KDIGO 2024 clinical guidelines.
- * Effective CKD care is supported by classification systems, evidence-based treatments, and policy changes, while facing challenges like clinician concerns about overdiagnosis, inadequate financial incentives, complexity in guidelines, and disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Kidney trajectory charts improve GP management of patients with reduced kidney function: a randomised controlled vignette study.
BJGP Open
July 2024
Australian Women and Girls' Health Research (AWaGHR) Centre, School of Public Health, Faculty of Medicine, The University of Queensland, Herston, Australia.
Background: The stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) reference ranges are currently determined without considering age.
Aim: To determine whether a chart that graphs age with eGFR helps GPs make better decisions about managing patients with declining eGFR.
Design & Setting: A randomised controlled vignette study among Australian GPs using a percentile chart plotting the trajectory of eGFR by age.
Has the time come for age-adapted glomerular filtration rate criteria to define chronic kidney disease: how soon is now?
Curr Opin Nephrol Hypertens
May 2024
Department of Medicine, Division of Nephrology, University of Ottawa.
Purpose Of Review: The conventional definition of chronic kidney disease (CKD) primarily relies on the identification of albuminuria or a decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). For many years, a straightforward eGFR threshold of <60 ml/min/1.73 m 2 has been widely adopted as the standard for defining CKD.
