dc.description.abstractBackground: Guidelines recommend early identification of chronic kidney disease (CKD), with targeted screening as a potential method. Methods: The See Kidney Disease (SeeKD) targeted screening program screened 5,194 participants for CKD across Canada. Participant characteristics and clinical measures, including point-of-care creatinine testing for at-risk participants to determine unrecognized CKD (estimated glomerular filtration rate < 60 mL/min/1.73m2), were obtained. Individual counselling sessions were provided to participants as a behaviour change intervention. Results: The majority of participants (88.9%) had at least one risk factor for CKD, amongst whom the prevalence of unrecognized CKD was 18.8%. The majority of respondents to the post-screening survey (89.8%) self-reported a health behaviour change 2-4 weeks after their individual counselling session. Conclusion: The SeeKD program was able to identify a high prevalence of unrecognized CKD. Individual counselling may be an important component in facilitating health behaviour change among participants at risk of CKD.en_US
