CKD is a global endemic disease with increased comorbidities and mortality. The prevalence and the incidence of the end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are extremely high in Taiwan. Early diagnosis of disease and proper management remain challenging. The aims of this study are:
1. Explore risk factors associated with CKD: demographic, social and genetics factors
2. Establish multidisciplinary care model for CKD patients
3. Development cost-effective clinical care pathway for CKD
4. Provide bio-specimen repository for future study: serum, PBMC, urine and stool
