国家肾脏疾病教育计划（NKDEP）是国家糖尿病、消化和肾脏疾病研究所的一项倡议，旨在降低慢性肾脏疾病（CKD）及其并发症引起的发病率和死亡率。NKDEP成立于2000年，最初专注于提高高危人群的认识，帮助实验室社区重新校准血清肌酐测量方法，并开始使用修订后的公式来估计肾小球滤过率，近年来扩大了其重点，NKDEP现在致力于通过与卫生系统，社区卫生中心，和专业协会，以鼓励测试和治疗的病人。其首要任务之一是开发临床诊疗工具、患者教育辅助工具和培训计划等资源，帮助初级保健专业人员更好地识别和护理CKD患者。其他优先事项包括改善联邦对CKD反应的协调，以及解决尿白蛋白测量和报告的标准化问题。改善CKD检测和管理是一项重要挑战。为了取得成功，NKDEP必须与肾脏社区、公共卫生机构、专业协会和服务于风险和患者社区的志愿组织密切合作。
The National Kidney Disease Education Program (NKDEP), an initiative of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, works to reduce the morbidity and mortality caused by chronic kidney disease (CKD) and its complications. Established in 2000, the NKDEP initially focused on increasing awareness in at-risk populations and helping the laboratory community recalibrate serum creatinine measurement methods and begin using a revised equation to estimate glomerular filtration rate, Expanding its focus in recent years, the NKDEP now works to improve provider practices by collaborating with health systems, community health centers, and professional associations to encourage testing and treatment of patients. Among its top priorities is to develop such resources as clinical encounter tools, patient education aids, and training programs that help primary care professionals better identify and care for patients with CKD. Other priorities include improving the coordination of federal responses to CKD and addressing the standardization of measurement and reporting of urine albumin. Improving CKD detection and management is an important challenge. To succeed, the NKDEP must work in close partnership with the renal community, public health agencies, professional associations, and voluntary organizations that serve at-risk and patient communities.
