Chronic renal failure (CRF) remains a significant problem. Early referral of patients reduces cardiovascular risk and allows better quality of life and life expectancy. Uremic patients represent a typical example of chronic disease, which requires multidisciplinary team involvement and stratification of treatment processes. During the evolution of the disease to chronicity, the patient requires different clinical approaches that form part of a unique treatment process, involving day-to-day management, carried out by the general practitioner, as well as the handling of acute events requiring specialized clinical management. Early referral essentially requires three steps. The first step is therapeutic education, which includes information, sensitiveness, training and acceptance of the disease. The second step is the assembling of a multidisciplinary team in which the members are able to work together, coordinating and managing treatment protocols. These two steps allow the design of the third step, disease management, which consists of a methodology based on an integrated approach to the dis-ease allowing continuous improvement in medical care, in the patient's quality of life and a better use of economic resources.
