At least one in 10 U.S. adults is estimated to have chronic kidney disease, but whether screening and monitoring people in the earlier stages of the disease provides a benefit just isn’t clear, a new review of the available clinical trials revealed.The finding doesn’t necessarily mean that early screening or monitoring of kidney disease isn’t helpful, it just shows no clear evidence to prove that it is. “We didn’t find direct evidence for benefits or harms. There were no randomized controlled trials for screening or monitoring,” said the study’s lead author, Dr. Howard Fink, a staff physician at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Minneapolis, Minn.
