Abstract
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is common in the German adult population, with a prevalence of 10%. This guideline, updated on the basis of current scientific evidence, contains recommendations for the management of CKD in general practice.
Methods: The updated guideline is based on a review and assessment of source guidelines and systematic reviews concerning individual questions. The recommendations were agreed upon in a moderated two-stage nominal group process by the mandate holders of the participating specialist societies, along with patient representatives.
Results: The risk of progression to renal failure requiring renal replacement therapy should be assessed with a risk score. Assessing this risk and determining the indication for treatment with SGLT2 inhibitors both require measurement of the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio. Pharmacotherapy is not recommended for asymptomatic hyperuricemia. An initial ultrasonographic examination of the kidneys and urogenital system is now recommended for all patients. The vaccination recommendations that differ for people with CKD have been integrated into the guideline.
Conclusion: The risk assessment of CKD and the treatment options have been expanded. The updated guideline can improve primary care for patients with CKD and the selection of patients for interdisciplinary care.
