In the first of a two-episode series on chronic kidney disease (CKD), Dr Hannah Rosa is joined by Dr Will Hinchliffe, a Consultant in Renal and General Medicine working in the North East and North Cumbria. They discuss which people are at risk of CKD, how to test for it and diagnose it and, lastly, which patients require a referral to secondary care. This episode is mostly based on the NICE guideline on assessment and management of CKD and aims to help you to improve the lives of your patients by diagnosing CKD earlier and referring those who may benefit from specialist input sooner.
