🌟 Exciting News in Kidney Disease Management! 🌟
📚 Just Released: A Comprehensive Guidance Document on Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Management
🔍 Multinational population studies based on CKD-PC 2023 analyses highlight the incremental increase in the association of all CKD complications with worse categories of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and albuminuria.
💡 Key Highlights:
-Emphasis on the importance of detecting CKD early, especially in high-risk populations.
-Recommendations for accurate assessment of GFR and urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR).
-Importance of using validated risk equations to estimate absolute risk of kidney failure.
-Comprehensive discussion on delaying CKD progression and managing complications.
-Insights into cardiovascular risk factor modification and drug stewardship in CKD.
-Optimal models of care, including the value of multidisciplinary teams and advanced care planning.
🔬 Newer data on treating hyperuricemia were evaluated, with no support for targeting hyperuricemia in the absence of symptoms.
📊 Tables provided for "expected" values for common laboratory tests by eGFR to aid in identifying aberrant values.
🚀 Conclusion: This guidance document offers exciting new approaches to CKD management, aiming to improve symptom management, disease modification, and person-centered care.
