Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects almost two million adults in England and many people with CKD have their care largely managed by their primary care team.
This resource pack, developed by NHS Kidney Care, contains a variety of resources designed to help support the management of CKD in the community.

A special issue of the British Journal of Primary Care Nursing (BJPCN), this looks at the functions of the kidney and the causes and risk factors of CKD, and how the care of patients can be improved.
Outlines basic facts about kidney disease in England, including how common it is, what makes people at risk, and the associated costs.
Provides facts about diabetes with kidney disease, including how common it is and what puts people at risk, as well as what can be done and the cost-effectiveness of different interventions.
