Effect of Integrated CKD Care Program in Early Diabetic Nephropathy in Primary Health Care Setting.
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Community-based Integrated CKD Care for Chronic Kidney Disease and Diabetic Nephropathy. Completed, enrolled 238 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major health problem in Thailand. Previous studies have demonstrated that integrated pre-dialysis care may slow the decline in renal function (Nephrol Dial Transplant.2009 Nov;24(11):3426-33). It is interesting to know whether early intervention especially in high risk groups like Diabetic may also improve outcome of these patients in primary health care setting resulting in delay of CKD progression.
