Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common long-term condition frequently seen in people with diabetes, hypertension and in the elderly population. It rarely causes symptoms in its early stages and practice nurses have a key role in monitoring patients for signs of complications and supporting their treatment. It is important to discuss potential symptoms with patients and encourage lifestyle measures, as well as considering medication to treat them. Close working between primary care and renal services is essential to allow patients with worsening CKD to make timely decisions about their treatment and receive coordinated care closer to home.
