A Brief Review of Diagnostic Techniques and Clinical Management in Chronic Kidney Disease.
Curēus 2023 November
Given its increasing incidence and detrimental effects on life expectancy and quality of life, chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant worldwide health concern. This review article provides a complete summary of current information on the diagnosis and management of CKD, focusing on recent advances and innovative approaches. The article discusses the most current findings on CKD risk assessment, emphasizing the need for early diagnosis utilizing better biomarkers and predictive models. A rigorous examination of diagnostic tools such as albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) in urine and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) highlights their importance in determining CKD phases and etiologies. In terms of therapy, the study explores evidence-based techniques to reduce the development of CKD, such as enhanced blood pressure control, glycemic management in diabetic patients, dietary changes, and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) blocking. Novel therapeutic approaches, including antifibrotic and precision medicine, are evaluated regarding their potential to revolutionize CKD treatment. The study also underlines the need for multidisciplinary therapy and patient education to achieve the best possible CKD patient outcomes. It also highlights the financial and social effects of CKD, highlighting the importance of early treatment to lower medical expenses and enhance the patient's standard of living. Finally, this review article provides a comprehensive update on CKD diagnosis and treatment, highlighting present successes alongside future potential. It is a valuable resource for healthcare professionals, academics, and policymakers who want to improve CKD treatment methods and patient outcomes.
