Abstract

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) impacts over 10% of the global population. Adults with CKD face significant morbidity and mortality. As kidney disease progresses, the risk of adverse outcomes increases. Here, we present an overview of strategies to care for adults with advanced CKD (stage 4-5 CKD, not receiving kidney replacement therapy). We aim to guide clinicians through several aspects of CKD care, ranging from recommended laboratory assessments to interdisciplinary support for patients as they plan for kidney replacement therapy (dialysis, transplantation, or conservative management). We incorporate considerations of health equity and person-centered care, empowering clinicians to deliver high-quality care to people with CKD.
