Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an increasingly common condition worldwide that leads to substantial mortality. Research in the past decade has informed significant advances in preventing CKD or delaying its progression, mainly through new medications. This progress, however, requires adequate screening and identification of early CKD to truly transform patient outcomes. Revised guidelines from the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes consortium of experts aim to help clinicians incorporate these advances into practice. This article summarizes key updates from the guidelines regarding the evaluation and management of CKD that can lead to better patient outcomes.
