Abstract
Aboriginal adults have a higher prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD), which may go undetected until the individual presents with end-stage kidney disease. Point-of-care urinary albumin creatinine ratio opportunistic screening in a high risk population in a culturally safe environment may provide an important opportunity for preventative health care for Aboriginal people. The objective of the Kidney Health Initiative (KHI) was to design, implement and evaluate a culturally appropriate kidney health screening initiative within an Aboriginal community controlled health related service (ACCHRS) to identify markers of kidney disease aiming to reduce the risk of progression of chronic kidney disease and to reduce its complications in their clients.
