Spotlight on Indicators

Are You Aware Summary of CKD information

Only Half of Adults at High Risk of Kidney Failure Know They Have CKD — July 2021

More Than Half of US Veterans with Chronic Kidney Disease Being Treated for High Blood Pressure Are Not Meeting Blood Pressure Targets — May 2021

Adults With Early-Stage Chronic Kidney Disease Are More Likely To Currently Smoke — March 2021

Many patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are managed in the primary care setting. Current estimates of CKD awareness indicate that provider level awareness remains low. Highlighting topics for primary care providers is vital for their work on risk factor modification to delay CKD progression and prevent complications.
