Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a serious public health problem in developed countries both because of the large number of patients and because of the high cost of treatment when prevention strategies are not implemented effectively. Primary prevention of CKD can be achieved by taking measures to ensure healthy kidney development. Public health strategies to prevent diabetes, hypertension and obesity as risk factors for CKD are important. These approaches are cost-effective and reduce the overall burden of noncommunicable diseases. Strategies for the prevention of non-traditional CKD risk factors, including exposure to nephrotoxins, kidney stones, infections, environmental exposure and acute renal failure (AKI) should be adapted to local needs and epidemiology. Early diagnosis and treatment of CKD risk factors, such as diabetes, obesity and hypertension, are the key to primary prevention of CKD. CKD tends to occur more often and progress faster among the indigenous population, minorities and socio-economically disadvantaged segments of the population. Special attention is required to meet the needs of these population groups in the prevention of CKD. Effective secondary prevention of CKD depends on screening at-risk individuals for early detection and treatment of CKD using established and new strategies.
