Kidney disease referrals under the microscope: did doctors act fast enough?
NCT ID NCT06950151
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study reviewed medical records of 345 adults to see if primary care doctors referred patients with chronic kidney disease to a kidney specialist at the right time and with the right treatment. The goal was to understand how well current referral practices work, not to test a new treatment. The findings could help improve early detection and care for kidney disease.
