“…Qualitative research in this area is limited, with only a few studies having been carried out in the UK and the USA; 66,71,72,74,75 however, there were similarities between the results of the current study and such previous research. GPs reported that they felt some anxiety about telling patients with early-stage CKD of their diagnosis 71,72 and that GPs felt patients and the public had little understanding of kidney disease.…”

“…66,71,72 Other studies have identified how the organisation of primary care influenced these factors, concluding that general practice was probably missing opportunities for health promotion and prevention of disease progression and/or complications such as acute kidney injury. 71,74 To date, few studies have explored GPs' experiences of managing patients with CKD, particularly in its more advanced stages. This study aimed to explore GPs' views and experiences of managing patients with CKD4 and 5 and in particular GPs' decisions to refer such patients to secondary care renal services.…”

“…[14][15][16] No qualitative study has focused on the management of patients with advanced CKD in primary care. Therefore, this study aimed to explore GPs' views and experiences of managing patients with advanced CKD and their knowledge of conservative care pathways to identify reasons for referral or non-referral of patients to secondary care.…”

“…AKI encompasses a wide clinical spectrum, from minor changes in kidney function to the requirement for renal replacement therapy [5,7]. It is a potentially serious and life threatening condition, often associated with an increased length of hospital stay [1,2,3,5,7,8].…”

“…Acute kidney injury (AKI) is identified in approximately 3-20% of all patients admitted to hospital [1,2,3,4,5] and each year costs the United Kingdom (UK) National Health Service (NHS) an estimated GBP 434-620 million [2,6]. AKI encompasses a wide clinical spectrum, from minor changes in kidney function to the requirement for renal replacement therapy [5,7].…”
