Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects 37 million people in the US.1 While efforts have been made to prevent or delay disease progression, there’s been very little progress over the last 3 decades.
Primary care physicians (PCPs) are on the front lines of CKD management, and a recent study outlining their perceptions of barriers and facilitators to the optimal management of CKD has provided additional insight into the challenges they’re facing.
In this whitepaper, learn more about the top 5 questions PCPs ask regarding kidney disease testing along with provided answers reviewed by a team of medical experts.

In this whitepaper we discuss strategies to mitigate burnout while providing quality patient care including:
