CKD Screening and Surveillance in Australia: Past, Present, and Future.
KI Reports 2018 January
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) was largely a hidden health problem until the publication of an internationally agreed approach to its identification, monitoring, and treatment. The 2002 National Kidney Foundation CKD classification and the subsequent 2006 Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) recommendations are powerful tools for translating thinking about CKD into clinical practice. These guidelines were strongly endorsed by the international community, including Australia, and were incorporated into CKD practice guidelines. In the past, CKD research studies in Australia focused on screening the general population, and more specifically, individuals at risk for CKD. Information from these studies led to the recognition that the CKD burden in Australia is a public health problem and contributed to the development of national health policies and priorities. At present, apart from the Australia and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant Registry (ANZDATA) that reports on CKD patients undergoing renal replacement therapy (RRT), long-term surveillance to describe the natural history of the CKD population not on RRT has only recently started. Entities such as CKD. Queensland and the Western Australian Nephrology Database are able to fill the gap and provide opportunities for collaborative research of CKD in Australia. Establishment of a National Health and Medical Research Centre-funded CKD Centre of Excellence in 2015 and the Better Evidence and Translation-Chronic Kidney Disease in 2016 are likely to change the future of CKD surveillance and research in Australia.
