Long-term cost-effectiveness of CKD screening in middle-aged adults.

Key takeaways

This study used a computer model to estimate the cost of screening for kidney disease in Finland. It looked at whether finding the disease early and treating it with new drugs would save money over time. The model suggests that early screening is a good use of healthcare funds. This is a prediction based on data, not a test on real people.
