Chronic kidney disease (CRD) in children and adolescents represents a significant public health challenge due to its impact on patients' quality of life and the socio-economic implications it entails. In response to this problem, a Clinical Practice Guide (GPC) has been developed to standardize and improve the care of this population.

This guide highlights some important aspects such as:

• Early detection and diagnosis
• Multidisciplinary approach
• Management of comorbidities
• Education and family support

Through this guide, the authors intend to guide health professionals in the provision of optimal and focused care on patients with this problem.
