Chronic kidney disease is the progressive and irreversible loss of kidney function. In this Primer, Romagnani et al. describe the epidemiology and pathophysiology of this disease, and summarize its diagnosis and management, explaining how understanding and treating all modifiable risk factors can slow the progression of chronic kidney disease and prevent or attenuate its consequences.
