Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) satisfies established criteria for screening. Although the economic burden of screening is substantial, many countries have adopted screening initiatives into their existing national programmes. Recognition of CKD as a major non-communicable disease by international bodies will help to improve global kidney care overall.
