Abstract
Progression of chronic kidney disease can be slowed by careful management of risk factors. The most effective treatments are aggressive blood pressure control, renin-angiotensin system inhibition in proteinuric patients and tight glycaemic control in diabetics. Patients should be educated to avoid nephrotoxins and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
