In the second part of a two-episode series on chronic kidney disease (CKD), Dr Hannah Rosa is joined again by Dr Will Hinchliffe, a Consultant in Renal and General Medicine working in the North East and North Cumbria. They discuss the management options for CKD that can be initiated in primary care. They first look at how to empower patients with lifestyle and dietary advice, then the medical treatment options we have for CKD and when to start them, before finishing with holistic care, especially with regards to cardiovascular disease. This episode is mainly based on the NICE assessment and management guideline for CKD, but it also draws on other recent guidelines from Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) and the International Society of Nephrology as it aims to help you to improve the lives of your patients with CKD.
