Policy strategies to enhance uptake of conservative kidney management in advanced chronic kidney disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Conservative kidney management (CKM) is an established treatment option for patients with advanced chronic kidney disease(CKD) who are not candidates for kidney replacement therapy(KRT). Despite its benefits, CKM uptake remains low. This systematic review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of policy strategies designed to promote CKM uptake in advanced CKD patients.

Methods

Relevant studies were identified through searches of Medline, Scopus, and CINAHL databases since 2000 through 24 July 2024.
