Description

Chronic kidney disease is a major public health problem due to its increasing prevalence, silent progression, and serious complications, particularly cardiovascular ones. Often diagnosed late, it can progress to an end-stage requiring dialysis or transplantation. Yet, a large proportion of cases are preventable through appropriate preventive measures. Early screening, targeting at-risk populations such as diabetics and those with hypertension, relies on creatinine and albuminuria levels. Primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention respectively prevent the onset, slow the progression, and limit the complications of the disease.
