(8/28, Preidt) reports that in a news release, task force member Dr.
Joy Melnikow said, "While mild abnormalities in kidney function are very
common in the United States, we know surprisingly little about whether
screening adults with no signs or symptoms of chronic kidney disease
will improve health outcomes." Additionally, "in its recommendation, the
task force also called for further research to fully assess the
benefits and harms of screening for chronic kidney disease." The new
"recommendation is published online Aug.
28 in the Annals of Internal Medicine and on the task force's website."
