The effect of pharmacist-led interventions on the management and outcomes in chronic kidney disease (CKD): A systematic review and meta-analysis protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive condition that results in a decline in kidney function over time. There are several conditions that increase the likelihood of developing CKD, particularly diabetes and hypertension. CKD increases the risk of mortality and has a detrimental impact on quality of life (QoL). Strategies for managing CKD include controlling cardiovascular risk factors and treating complications of CKD. There is an ever-increasing role of pharmacists in managing CKD, from the optimization of risk factors to patient education. However, currently, there is a lack of data on the effect pharmacist-led interventions have on the clinical, economic, and humanistic outcomes.
