The United States Preventive Services Task Force has no current recommendation to
guide primary care physician screening for chronic kidney disease (CKD). This is misaligned
with the scope of the CKD public health emergency, recommendations from clinical practice
guidelines, health spending on CKD, the changing landscape of CKD detection and treatment,
and the focus by policymakers on identifying tangible approaches to improving health
equity. This review summarizes patient, clinician, health equity, and health system
perspectives in support of screening adults with risk factors for CKD. This review
concludes with the assessment that the United States Preventive Services Task Force
should revisit targeted CKD screening specifically for adults with diabetes and/or
hypertension.
