Chronic kidney disease constitutes a health problem due to its impact on individuals, society and the economy. A clinical practice guide for chronic kidney disease care in Primary Health Care is proposed. A clinical epidemiological investigation was carried out from 2017 to 2019, at the Luis Augusto Turcios Lima Polyclinic, in the Pinar del Río municipality. The guideline was prepared following evidence-based medicine criteria, by consensus and by expert opinion. The quality evaluation was carried out with the Appraisal of Guidelines, Research and Evaluation for Europe Instrument. Recommendations were elaborated; it was generalized and permanently updated with the new medical evidence. Preventive practices and early detection of the disease were systematized. The proposed guide provides professionals working in Primary Health Care with the appropriate tools for the detection and management of chronic kidney disease; also facilitating coordination between the primary and secondary levels of Health. It is concluded that it allows improving the care of patients with this disease, especially in Primary Health Care.
