Is chronic kidney disease progression mainly associated with non-recovery of acute kidney injury?

Unless academic settings are developed to provide the necessary training for primary health care professionals to work in teams, a new generation of health care professionals will continue to work in status quo environments, and reform initiatives are unlikely to become sustainable over time.
