Characteristics of patients with undiagnosed stage 3 chronic kidney disease: results from an observational study (REVEAL-CKD) in China.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Early diagnosis of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is crucial for timely intervention to delay disease progression and improve patient outcomes. However, data for clinical characteristics of Chinese patients with undiagnosed, early-stage CKD are lacking.

Methods

REVEAL-CKD is a multinational, observational study using real-world data in selected countries to describe factors associated with undiagnosed stage 3 CKD, time to diagnosis, and CKD management post diagnosis. We analysed patient data from 20 hospitals in the China Renal Data System. Adult patients with two consecutive estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) measurements indicating stage 3 CKD (30-<60 ml/min/1.73 m²) recorded >90-730 days apart from 2015 to 2020 were eligible.
