Explaining GFR: A Tear-Off Pad for Clinical Use
The National Kidney Disease Education Program (NKDEP) has developed a new resource, Explaining GFR: A tear-off pad for clinical use, to help primary care providers and other health professionals explain estimated GFR (eGFR) results to their patients. Each tear-off pad contains 50 easy-to-read patient education sheets that provide simple explanations of the kidneys, kidney function, and eGFR results. They also include suggested actions for maintaining kidney health based on the eGFR result. The back of the pad highlights key concepts and talking points for providers to use when educating patients about chronic kidney disease (CKD).
