ABSTRACT
Recent data from many parts of the world have demonstrated a dramatic increase in prevalence and incidence of end-stage renal disease. With the objective of slowing the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD), reducing its negative consequences and its high costs of care, it is necessary to focus in primary or secondary prevention instead of treating long term complications of renal disease it is an opportunity area to be explored (especially in primary physicians). Timely detection of chronic renal damage in high risk population could establish strategies to stop or slow progression in renal disease. It is necessary induce the scientific interest and knowledge in doctors and other healthcare professionals regarding nephroprotection strategies to prevent the consequences of renal disease, to reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. However some renal progression risk factors are strongly associated to uncontrolled bad life-style habits. Multiple interventions could improve some bad life-style habits and the self-care. On the other hand, there are initiatives by international organizations such as “World Kidney Day”, which is a campaign that is conducted veery year and pretend to raise public and health professionals awareness of the importance of the kidneys in maintaining health. This year, “World Kidney Day” will be celebrated on March 9th and promoted the education about noxious consequences of obesity and its association with renal damage in order to contribute to a better preservation of renal function in early CKD, thereby reducing the overall burden of chronic end-stage renal disease.REFERENCES

La patente escasez de nefrólogos y la enorme cantidad de posibles individuos a evaluar en países como los nuestros refuerzan la necesidad de que las actividades de nefroprevención y nefroprotección se implementen en la atención primaria.
