【 摘 要 】

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a public health dilemma contributing to increasing global morbidity and mortality. There is increasing recognition that early detection and management of CKD is critical in delaying disease progression as well as improving mortality rates. However, kidney disease is a silent process and usually goes undetected until more advanced stages, wherein the opportunity to intervene and improve kidney-related outcome is diminished, since awareness of CKD is low in earlier stages. Herein, we will review the screening and detection strategies for CKD as well as the importance of intervention in early stages to reduce progression and also the burden of CKD.
