Doctors may be missing early signs of kidney disease

Small changes in kidney function, even when test results fall within what doctors consider a normal range, may reveal who is likely to develop chronic kidney disease later in life. That is the conclusion of a new study from Karolinska Institutet published in Kidney International. Based on these findings, researchers have created a web-based tool designed to help detect risk earlier and support prevention before serious damage occurs.
