Home-Based Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Care in Native American's of New Mexico- A Disruptive Innovation
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Home-Based Kidney Care for Chronic Kidney Diseases. Completed, enrolled 529 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
People reach End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) due to progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD). CKD is associated with increased risk for heart disease and death. The burden of chronic kidney disease is increased among minority populations compared to Caucasians. New Mexico American Indians are experiencing an epidemic of chronic kidney disease due primarily to the high rates of obesity and diabetes. The present study entitled Home-Based Kidney Care is designed to delay / reduce rates of ESRD by early interventions in CKD. Investigators propose to assess the safety and efficacy of conducting a full-scale study to determine if home based care delivered by a collaborative team composed of community health workers, the Albuquerque Area Indian Health Board and University of New Mexico faculty will decrease the risk for the development and the progression of CKD.
