Chronic kidney disease (CKD): an essential guide for GPs
Show notes
In this podcast, Dr Emma Nash speaks to Dr Jim Moore, a GP with a special interest in cardiovascular medicine and past president of the Primary Care Cardiovascular Society, about chronic kidney disease. The approach to diagnosis and categorisation is discussed, along with when further investigations or referral may need to be considered. Recognising that the majority of CKD is managed in primary care, Jim explains the key areas to target in terms of optimising outcome and reducing complications, along with how to talk about CKD with patients. He also gives an overview of the most important medications in CKD management, and the key things that GPs need to know about them.
