This chapter investigates care and management of those with mild to moderate kidney disease before renal replacement therapy (RRT) is required. Renal nurses are often involved with the technical, monitoring, and evaluative aspects of RRT for those with end‐stage kidney disease (ESKD). There is worldwide acceptance of numerical stages or categories of chronic kidney disease (CKD), based on the Kidney Disease Quality Outcomes Initiative classification. In general terms, categories 1‐2 do not require specific interventions; categories 3a and 3b are managed in primary care; people with category 4 CKD may require referral to renal teams and people with category 5 usually require some form of RRT or conservative management. The aim of primary care management is to prevent or delay progression to ESKD and reduce cardiovascular risk. The chapter explains the care and management of people with category 3a‐b CKD and those with diabetes and CKD.
