[Chronic kidney disease]

Chronic kidney disease progresses gradually, often without symptoms, toward chronic kidney failure, with the rate of progression varying from patient to patient. Management of the condition relies on monitoring glomerular filtration rate and anticipating complications. The care pathway involves numerous healthcare professionals and relies on shared decision-making, patient education, and enhanced coordination in advanced stages. The goal is to prevent emergencies and, when necessary, prepare an appropriate renal replacement therapy (dialysis, transplantation, or conservative management).
