title: Screening for renal disease: the role of the practice nurse.
abstract: Screening tests for renal disease are inexpensive, easy to carry out and simple to interpret. Nurses in general practice can provide screening for high-risk populations and interpret the results of these tests. Practice nurses can also provide patient information about renal disease, which will both improve patients' quality of life and save time and money for the NHS.
