Improving outcomes in renal disease.
CKD is a silent medical problem that requires laboratory analysis to make an early diagnosis. Early aggressive management of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and dyslipidemia are vital. Awareness and management of the frequent complications also improve ESRD outcomes. Ongoing consultation with the nephrology team, including a renal dietitian, is important for delaying disease progression and improving patient quality of life.
