Part two of this National Service Framework sets four quality requirements and identifies 23 markers of good practice that can support NHS organisations in the prevention of chronic kidney disease in people at risk; in developing strategies for slowing down the progression of the disease; minimising the consequences of acute renal failure; and extending palliative care to people on dialysis who are near the end of their lives.

If you downloaded this document on 3 February or before noon on 4 February 2005 please note there was an error in paragraph 8, page 4, where the prevalence of diagnosed CKD found in the survey should have read 5,554 per million population. This has now been corrected.
