In this thought-provoking lecture, proponents of universal screening for chronic kidney disease (CKD) will present a strong case for its implementation worldwide. They will argue that early detection through universal screening is essential for preventing the progression of CKD, reducing healthcare costs, and improving patient outcomes. Opponents of universal screening for chronic kidney disease (CKD) will present their case against its widespread adoption. They will argue that universal screening may not be the most effective or efficient approach, given the potential for overdiagnosis, the strain on healthcare resources, and the risk of unnecessary interventions.
