Chronic Kidney Disease Prevention of An-Lo District, Keelung

The project will be last for 3 years. We will start to screen the patients within the community to identify the CKD population. This population will randomized into two group (one group with standard nephrologist care and another group with standard nephrologist care plus multidisciplinary CKD education) to evaluate the effectiveness of CKD education on the progression of renal function. The primary end-point will be the doubling tine estimated GFR, development of end-stage renal disease and all cause mortality. The non-CKD group of community will also follow up for urine and blood test for renal function, to determine the incidence and risk factors of new-onset renal disease. The accomplishment of this study will retard renal progression, improve community health and establish a model in preventing the chronic kidney disease.
