ISN-KDIGO CKD EARLY IDENTIFICATion & Intervention Toolkit
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) causes substantial global morbidity and increases cardiovascular and all-cause mortality, so identifying and treating it at the earliest stages is a worldwide imperative.
To this end, the ISN and KDIGO are releasing a series of tools for CKD early identification and intervention aimed at kidney health professionals, primary care physicians and nurses working in primary care settings.
Discover and access these tools below.
This quick guide aims to further clarify the ISN-KDIGO CKD Early Identification and Intervention booklet to allow easy, widespread adoption and prompt action around early identification and intervention of CKD in the primary care setting.
This quick guide will be made available in over 50 languages by the end of 2023!

- From our colleagues in Malaysia, we have heard that for “Step 2”, the uACR measurement is needed to progress to “Step 3”. If uACR is not easily available or affordable in your setting, you can use a uACR converter, which can give you the equivalent uACR for a U dipstick or uPCR reading.
