Chronic kidney disease

[摘要] Recently the College distributed a new set of guidelines: ‘Promoting good CKD management’.1 Raising awareness of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a good thing as CKD often goes unrecognised in primary care.2 People with CKD are at higher risk of cardiovascular disease and all cause mortality is also increased.3–5 Strict control of blood pressure improves outcome,6 angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE-I) and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) are particularly effective.7
