“…Screening for disease in apparently healthy individuals in the hope that early identification can lead to more successful intervention strategies is a very reasonable intention (18). However, such screening needs to address a very specific purposes, must identify the characteristics of the population to be screened with respect to the likely prevalence of disease, and the tools used for screening must be easily applied, relatively inexpensive, and have appropriate levels of sensitivity and specificity.…”

“…However, such screening needs to address a very specific purposes, must identify the characteristics of the population to be screened with respect to the likely prevalence of disease, and the tools used for screening must be easily applied, relatively inexpensive, and have appropriate levels of sensitivity and specificity. An intervention based on early detection also must improve the long-term outcome of the disease (18). While it is true, as pointed out by Melamed, Bauer, and Hostetter, that the progression of CKD in the presence of definite disease, particularly in the presence of proteinuria, can be modified by interventions, such as the use of inhibitors of angiotensin II, the evidence that such approaches can alter the progression of stage 3 CKD in the absence of other definitive features of kidney damage has not yet been proven.…”
