Chronic Kidney Disease Timely Referral: Coordinating Care for Improved Renal Disease Outcomes
This presentation covers issues related to Chronic Kidney Disease and reviews actions that will improve the outcomes for patients with CKD. We discuss the scope of CKD and review the accepted definitions of CKD; review data that suggests CKD patients require special care that must be coordinated between primary care providers and the renal team, and review specific CKD screening recommendations and issues of timely nephrology referral.
