Chronic Kidney Disease Natural History Study
The purpose of this study was to look at the rate of progression of CKD and factors that will modify that such as blood pressure control, blood sugar control, use of ACE inhibitors, and use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The longitudinal dataset will also help us determine the positive predictive value of a single eGFR or a single urine albumin creatinine ratio (UACR). We querried a subset of a 1 million-person practice performance dataset that had clinical data from over 20 different EMRs from across the country. The query identified patients who had an initial positive CKD screening test defined by having a single estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60.
Funding
The CKD natural history study was funded by a grant from the National Kidney Foundation.
