The KidneyWise Clinical Toolkit provides guidance to primary care providers on which patients are at high risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD) and recommendations on how to properly diagnose and manage the patient to reduce the risk for further disease progression.
The KidneyWise Clinical Toolkit includes:
- An evidence-based Clinical Algorithm that helps with identification, detection, and management of patients with CKD and guidance on which patients may benefit from referral to a nephrologist.
- An Evidence Summary that offers further clinical detail regarding the algorithm content, including references to clinical guidelines that were used in the development of the toolkit.
- A Standardized Outpatient Nephrology Referral Form that provides referral guidance by outlining clinical scenarios that would require consultation with the appropriate investigations that should accompany the referral.
