Interventions

  • Observational study - registry — OTHER
    The Study is a longitudinal observational cohort study that collaborates with health systems to obtain both electronic healthcare records (EHR) and patient-entered data. Eligible people with a diagnosis of chronic kidney disease at any stage, age 18 years and above, are identified through EHR data review, referral by a provider, or are recruited through the NKF's outreach campaign. Patients self-enroll into the online registry and share their experiences and health data through a secure portal where they can also find education, tips, and support. Research partners can view aggregate data through a collaboration portal.

Study Details

For chronic kidney disease (CKD), there is a lack of unique and powerful platform for patient engagement, research studies and public health advocacy work. The National kidney Foundation (NKF) launched the first nationwide registry for people at all stages and types of CKD, including people on dialysis and kidney transplant recipients, called the KidneyCARE Study (kidneycarestudy.org). The KidneyCARE Study is a non-interventional research study which means participants will not have to take medications or do any additional tests to participate. They are simply asked to share some personal and health information, and their experiences with their disease through a secure portal. The Study also collaborates with health systems to obtain additional electronic health records (EHR) data. This unique combination of data collected will address the gap of individualized educational resources and will enhance clinical research, clinical care, and health policy decisions to be centered on the patient. The Study is all online and can be accessed any time of day at kidneycarestudy.org. Participation is voluntary and free.
