TLDR
Determination of serum creatinine levels and urinalysis in patients with chronic kidney disease risk will usually be sufficient for initial screening, and this should be able to identify individuals with increased risk of renal disease.

Chronic Kidney Disease Diagnosis and Management: A Review

TL;DR: Optimal management of CKD includes cardiovascular risk reduction, treatment of albuminuria, avoidance of potential nephrotoxins, and adjustments to drug dosing (eg, many antibiotics and oral hypoglycemic agents).

Chronic Kidney Disease as Oxidative Stress- and Inflammatory-Mediated Cardiovascular Disease.

TL;DR: The role of oxidative stress and inflammation in renal impairment is shown, with a particular emphasis on its influence on the most common disturbances that accompany CKD.

TL;DR: A healthy dietary pattern may prevent CKD and albuminuria and the evidence certainty was moderate for CKD incidence and low for eGFR decline and incidentalbuminuria.

Prevalence of Chronic Kidney Disease in the United States

TL;DR: The prevalence of CKD in the United States in 1999-2004 is higher than it was in 1988-1994 and this increase is partly explained by the increasing prevalence of diabetes and hypertension and raises concerns about future increased incidence of kidney failure and other complications.

Blood Pressure and End-Stage Renal Disease in Men

TL;DR: Elevations of blood pressure are a strong independent risk factor for end-stage renal disease; interventions to prevent the disease need to emphasize the prevention and control of both high-normal and high blood pressure.

Prognostic value of serum creatinine and effect of treatment of hypertension on renal function. Results from the hypertension detection and follow-up program. The Hypertension Detection and Follow-up Program Cooperative Group.

TL;DR: The slightly lower rate of development of hypercreatininemia and the higher rate of improvement in stepped-care compared with referred-care participants is consistent with the belief that aggressive treatment of hypertension may reduce renal damage and the associated increased risk of death.

Obesity and Risk for Chronic Renal Failure

TL;DR: Obesity seems to be an important-and potentially preventable-risk factor for CRF, and the strongest association was with diabetic nephropathy, but two- to three-fold risk elevations were observed for all major subtypes of CRF.
