The signs and symptoms of chronic kidney disease (CKD) can be nonspecific, meaning that it may mimic or stem from other conditions. Often, CKD is undetected before irreversible kidney damage has occurred. In response, the UCLA Kidney Health Program has developed the Kidney Function Preservation Pathway for physicians.
