  • Title: Managing advanced chronic kidney disease: a primary care guide.
    Author: Sakhuja A, Hyland J, Simon JF.
    Journal: Cleve Clin J Med; 2014 May; 81(5):289-99. PubMed ID: 24789588.
    Abstract:
    Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common disorder that requires close collaboration between the primary care physician and nephrologist. Most aspects of early CKD can be managed in the primary care setting with nephrology input. As the disease progresses, many aspects of care should be transitioned to the nephrologist, especially as the patient nears end-stage renal disease, when dialysis and transplantation must be addressed.
