Abstract

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global public health concern, affecting millions of people worldwide and Jordan is no exception to this growing problem. CKD can be prevented or delayed through effective primary healthcare practices. However, lack of awareness among both the general population and healthcare providers (HCPs) contributes to delayed diagnosis and suboptimal management of CKD. Aims: The aims of the expert panel were to raise awareness and provide a multidisciplinary consensus approach to screening, diagnosis, and management of CKD, including identifying and controlling risk factors associated with this chronic condition. In addition, the aim was to develop treatment recommendations and algorithms to HCPs to ease the decision-making process and standardize management protocols. Methods: The multidisciplinary panel of experts from different specialties representing several medical societies met to discuss and review the challenges and barriers of CKD in Jordan. The experts also reviewed the relevant publications associated with CKD, including the outcome data trials and the international clinical practice guidelines on CKD. The multidisciplinary panel developed a comprehensive understanding of the current state of CKD in Jordan and the measures being taken to address it. Results: The multidisciplinary team of experts developed a consensus statement that is tailored to the local situation in Jordan. The panel provided standard recommendations and algorithms, addressing screening, diagnosis, referrals, and treatment of CKD. Conclusion: Early screening and interventional programs are crucial to delaying the progression nature of CKD and reducing its complications. Future follow-up is important to measure the impact of these recommendations and educational programs to HCPs on CKD detection and management and improving patients’ outcomes.
