Conceptual model of CKD. Continuum of development, progression, and complications of CKD and strategies to improve outcomes. Horizontal arrows between circles represent development, progression, and remission of CKD. Left-pointing horizontal arrowheads signify that remission is less frequent than progression. Diagonal arrows represent occurrence of complications of CKD, including drug toxicity, endocrine and metabolic complications, cardiovascular disease, and others such as infection, cognitive impairment, and frailty. Complications might also arise from adverse effects of interventions to prevent or treat the disease. CKD, chronic kidney disease; EOL, end-of-life care and/or conservative management; GFR, glomerular filtration rate.
