General management goals for CKD across stages include which of the following?

CKD care is about a proactive, comprehensive approach: aim to slow the kidney function decline, prevent and treat complications that arise as CKD progresses, and plan for renal replacement therapy (dialysis or transplantation) if and when function drops enough or complications occur. This set of goals applies across all stages, though specifics change with progression. The best answer captures all these elements—slowing progression, managing complications, and preparing for dialysis or transplant as needed. CKD isn’t typically curable with medication, and management involves more than just blood pressure control or doing nothing, so the other options don’t fit.
