[Management of chronic kidney disease in primary care: New practical guidelines in primary care].

Abstract

Chronic kidney disease is often encountered in clinical practice, affecting between 8 and 16% of the world's population. Screening for CKD represents a major challenge for patients, given the increase in morbidity and mortality associated with the disease, as well as a public health issue in terms of slowing the progression to end-stage renal failure, which requires costly replacement treatments (dialysis and transplantation). The new KDIGO guidelines suggest aiming for optimal control of the cardiovascular risk factors associated with chronic kidney disease, in particular with the help of emerging treatments such as SGLT2 inhibitors. This article summarises the latest nephroprotection recommendations for primary care physicians.
