The United States Preventive Services Task Force has no current recommendation to guide primary care physician screening for chronic kidney disease (CKD). This is misaligned with the scope of the CKD public health emergency, recommendations from clinical practice guidelines, health spending on CKD, the changing landscape of CKD detection and treatment, and the focus by policymakers on identifying tangible approaches to improving health equity.
