Chronic kidney disease (CKD), a common clinical problem in primary care, can be defined as any abnormality of the kidney structure and/or function that has been present for at least 3 months. Over the past 20 years, the incidence and prevalence of CKD have been increasing in Malaysia in line with the rising number of non-communicable diseases. At present, CKD has no cure. The treatment of CKD is very much dependent on early diagnosis and prevention of CKD progression. In this article, we aim to illustrate a practical approach to CKD in primary care, including diagnosis, evaluation, and management of CKD.
慢性肾脏病(CKD)是基层医疗中常见的临床问题,可定义为肾脏结构和/或功能的任何异常,且这种异常已存在至少3个月。在过去20年里,马来西亚CKD的发病率和患病率随着非传染性疾病数量的增加而上升。目前,CKD无法治愈。CKD的治疗在很大程度上依赖于早期诊断和预防CKD进展。在本文中,我们旨在阐述基层医疗中CKD的实用方法,包括CKD的诊断、评估和管理。
