Abstract
Late recourse to nephrology consultation remains a topical issue which concerns both developed and developing countries such that a majority of the patients are seen to be at an advanced stage of chronic kidney diseases. The aim of this study is to assess the clinical and paraclinical profile of patients referred for primary nephrological consultation.

Late recourse to nephrology consultation remains a topical issue which concerns both developed and developing countries such that a majority of the patients are seen to be at an advanced stage of chronic kidney diseases
Patients referred for nephrology consultation are often found to be at an advanced stage of Chronic kidney disease (CKD)
This delayed diagnosis is associated with an increase in morbidity and mortality factors and a poor prognosis
Summary
Late recourse to nephrology consultation remains a topical issue which concerns both developed and developing countries such that a majority of the patients are seen to be at an advanced stage of chronic kidney diseases. The aim of this study is to assess the clinical and paraclinical profile of patients referred for primary nephrological consultation. CKD is still often discovered at a late stage even in developed countries. Primary prevention seems to be the best way to reduce the incidence of CKD in developing countries such as Senegal. It is in this context that we undertook this work with the aims of describing the epidemiological, clinical, and paraclinical profile of the patients referred to their first nephrology consultation
