Development
The CKD Clinical Pathway was developed by the Interdisciplinary Chronic Disease Collaboration (ICDC; www.ICDC.ca) in collaboration with the Alberta Kidney Care – North (AKC-N), Alberta Kidney Care – South (AKC-S) and key stakeholders including nephrologists, primary care physicians, allied health care professionals and IT specialists.
What it covers
The CKD Clinical Pathway is an interactive tool that provides guidance and supporting information to physicians and allied health care professionals to assist them in identification, management and referral of patients with CKD in the primary care setting.
The content is based on current evidence-based clinical practice guidelines (Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO), Canadian Society of Nephrology (CSN) and Hypertension Canada)).
