Journal Article
Status of chronic kidney disease prevention programs: International Federation of Kidney Foundation Members 2005/2007
2008
Overview
The International Federation of Kidney Foundations surveyed its members on chronic kidney disease ‘prevention’ programs in their regions and countries in 2005 and 2007. A profile was developed, representing 28 countries (56% response). Some form of screening activity was reported in 24 of the 28 countries (85.7%). Two countries (7%) had, or anticipated development of, legislated national screening. Programs were conducted by kidney foundations or research groups, and were variously population based, focused on high risk groups or opportunistic. Tests in 63% of responding programs included weight, height, blood pressure, blood glucose, dipstick urinalysis and serum creatinine. Several programs used the USA's Kidney Early Evaluation Program's and International Society of Nephrology's templates. World Kidney Day activities contributed significantly. Stated needs were for more government recognition, firm policies and approaches, and critically, resources. Repeat responders reported progress in 2007, particularly in government interest and education delivery. Despite difficulties, programs are developing in many regions. Most need more resources and some members need substantial and sustained assistance.
