Abstract
A comprehensive screening program for CKD is equally important in both relatives and spouses of HD patients, especially for participants with the renal risk factors of older age, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus. Spousal concordance of CKD suggests that the shared environmental factors and health behaviors might have important roles in the development of CKD.
