title: State approaches to stem toll of chronic kidney disease.
abstract: Two dozen states have undertaken initiatives to address chronic kidney disease (CKD), with the goal of facilitating early identification of CKD and intervention to prevent the progression of CKD and its comorbidities. Each state has approached this goal in a different fashion. The impact of these varying initiatives should be evaluated so as to guide policy development in other jurisdictions.
