“The chronic kidney disease it is a very frequent pathology: knowing it means being able to prevent and treat it. Fundamental early diagnosis and subsequent treatment. For the early diagnosis of mrc, two simple, very low-cost tests are needed: Gfr and Acr, which allow us to identify the disease and stratify the renal risk in patients with mrc”. So at time.news Salute Loreto Gesualdo, president of Fism, on the sidelines of the conference “Challenges and objectives for a new management of chronic kidney disease”.
“Fortunately today we can treat chronic kidney disease – assures the nephrologist – because we have new drugs available that are able to change the natural history of CRM, therefore to the standard of care of a few years ago, represented by a correct lifestyle and the use of Ras inhibitors, today we can add new molecules and new classes of drugs, including glyphozines. Logically, the role of primary prevention in the onset of diabetes, hypertension and obesity, which are the most frequent causes of chronic kidney disease, is fundamental”.
For Gesualdo there are two watchwords: knowledge and awareness. “The objective of the Policy document on chronic kidney disease is to design a preventive diagnostic and care path on chronic kidney disease which must be adopted by all Italian regions”.
