Abstract

For patients that develop chronic kidney disease, the underlying aetiology may never be identified. Irrespective of the inciting injury, the histopathological response to injury in the kidneys is the same, and tubulo-interstitial nephritis and fibrosis with variable degrees of secondary glomerulosclerosis and mineralization are usually identified. This chapter concerns itself with factors associated with progression of CKD, and treatment and management strategies for patients with CKD.
