Core Tip	Diabetes and hypertension are two most common causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Nephrology office practice constitutes vast majority of the patients with CKD of different stages. While CKD stages 1-3 [glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (< 60 - > 30 mL/min)] produce slight or no symptoms or signs, CKD stages 4-6 (GFR < 30 - < 10 mL/min) may increase blood pressure and produce fluid electrolyte and acid-based disorders. The goal of office practice is to identify these disorders, then treat them to enable patients to live asymptomatically.
