Screening for CKD to halt its growing burden in Europe: a political proposal by the Italian Society of Nephrology.

Article No results yet Peer reviewed

Key takeaways

Italy's kidney doctors are proposing that Europe screen people for kidney disease to catch it early. They point to 2025, when the World Health Organization and the United Nations both named kidney disease a global health priority. The argument is to shift from replacing lost kidney function with dialysis toward finding and protecting kidneys sooner. This is a policy proposal, so there are no results yet.
