Due to the disease prevalence, advanced clinical practitioners (ACPs) in a variety of primary and secondary care settings will encounter patients with this diagnosis who will require care and treatment. This article examines definitions of CKD, describes a clinical approach to a patient with CKD, including key history and examination findings, and provides a brief overview of renal replacement strategies for the patient with end-stage renal failure. ACPs require a thorough understanding of this condition and the key elements of treatment and care in this population.124-134This document is the Accepted Manuscript version of a Published Work that appeared in final form in British Journal of Nursing, copyright © MA Healthcare, after peer review and technical editing by the publisher.
