Abstract

This series of four articles explores the pathophysiology and treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and acute kidney injury (AKI). We review the causes of CKD and AKI, treatment options and secondary complications. CKD and AKI are both relatively common in general practice and early identification and appropriate management may improve the outcome of patients with these conditions. This first article focuses on the pathophysiology of CKD and possible complications.
