Identifying individuals with early kidney disease would be a useful first step in preventing progression to end-stage renal disease as well as reducing morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease (CVD).
We recently published an instrument (SCreening for Occult REnal Disease [SCORED]) to systematically identify individuals with a high likelihood of prevalent CKD.2 Derived from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999-2002 and (partially) . . .
