I would like to welcome you to this course on chronic kidney disease (CKD). As a major non-communicable disease CKD is assuming epic proportions across the world. Treatment of advanced renal disease by dialysis or renal transplantation is prohibitively expensive and in low income countries very few patients can afford such care. The focus should therefore be on preventing kidney disease or slowing the progression of CKD so that dialysis or transplantation can be avoided. We have put together a comprehensive module on diagnosing, classifying and managing all aspects of CKD and it should go a long way in helping our primary care physicians in caring for such patients.
