Chronic kidney disease (CKD) causes substantial global morbidity and increases cardiovascular all-cause mortality. Unlike other chronic diseases with established strategies for screening, there has been no consensus on whether health systems governments should prioritize early identification intervention CKD. Guidelines evaluating managing CKD are available but have not universally adopted in the absence of incentives or quality measures prioritizing care. The burden falls disproportionately...

Recognizing that race is a social and not biological construct, healthcare professionals the public have called for removal of in clinical algorithms. In response, National Kidney Foundation American Society Nephrology created Task Force on Reassessing Inclusion Race Diagnosing Diseases to examine issue provide recommendations. The final report from recommends calculating estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) without coefficient using recently published CKD-EPI 2021 creatinine (cr)...

Individuals with kidney failure undergoing maintenance dialysis frequently report a high symptom burden that can interfere functioning and diminish life satisfaction. Until recently, the focus of nephrology care for patients has been related primarily to numerical targets laboratory measures, outcomes such as cardiovascular disease mortality. Routine assessment is not universal or standardized in care. Even when symptoms are identified, treatment options limited initiated infrequently, part...

This US, multicenter, observational study assessed the CKD prevalence in adult patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and characterized proportion of detected undiagnosed primary care setting using following: a clinician survey; patient physical exam medical history; single blood draw for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) glycosolated hemoglobin (HbA1c); urine dipstick protein; albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR); two quality life questionnaires; 15-month record review. The...

Abstract Aim Predicting progression in diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is critical to improving outcomes. We sought develop/validate a machine-learned, prognostic risk score (KidneyIntelX™) combining electronic health records (EHR) and biomarkers. Methods This an observational cohort study of patients with prevalent DKD/banked plasma from two EHR-linked biobanks. A random forest model was trained, performance (AUC, positive negative predictive values [PPV/NPV], net reclassification index...

Clinical guidelines for people with diabetes recommend chronic kidney disease (CKD) testing at least annually using estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR). We aimed to understand CKD among type 2 in the U.S.Electronic health record data were analyzed from 513,165 adults receiving primary care 24 organizations 1,164 clinical practice sites. assessed percentage of patients both one or more eGFRs uACRs each test individually 1, 2, 3 years...

An estimated 37 million Americans have chronic kidney disease (CKD). Nearly 90% do not know about their condition because of low awareness the importance CKD testing and diagnosis among practitioners people at risk for CKD. This study uses data from a national clinical laboratory to identify guideline-recommended rates across U.S.

Background Given the high prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD), primary care physicians (PCPs) frequently manage early stage CKD. Nonetheless, there are challenges in providing optimal CKD setting. This study sought to understand PCPs' perceptions barriers and facilitators management Study design Mixed methods Settings participants Community-based PCPs four US cities: Baltimore, MD; St. Louis, MO; Raleigh, NC San Francisco, CA. Methodology We used a self-administered questionnaire...
