Evaluation of a Multidisciplinary Care Pathway on the Evolution of Renal Function in Patients With Advanced Chronic Kidney Disease

Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Chronic Kidney Disease Stage 5
Chronic Kidney Disease stage4
Registration Number
NCT06495385
Lead Sponsor
Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne
Brief Summary

The number of incident and prevalent patients with end stage renal disease on dialysis treatment is increasing in France and worldwide. A quarter of dialysis patients are initiating dialysis urgently through central venous catheters and the number of patients registered in the waiting list for renal transplantation before dialysis initiation is very low. This is also reflected in the very low number of pre-emptive renal transplantations.

In order to reduce the number of dialysis patients, the French state has induced a national program proposing a multidisciplinary care pathway including the nephrology visits and at least one consultation with a dietitian and a specialist renal nurse in all patients with Chronic Kidney Disease stage 4 and 5.

Detailed Description

The aim of this single-center retrospective study is to evaluate the influence of the complete, partial or no participation in this program on the evolution of renal function and clinicobiological parameters in this group of patients.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Evolution of estimated Glomerular filtration rate with the CKD-EPI formula adjusted for 1.73m2 of body surface area for the three groupsMonth : 6, 12, 18 and 24

The estimated Glomerular filtration rate is estimated with the CKD-EPI formula adjusted for 1.73m2 of body surface area and produced in ml/min/1.73m2 of body surface area. The CKD-EPI formula used is as follows: The conversion of serum creatinine level for the CKD-EPI formula was done as follows: creatinine level (mg/dl) = creatinine level (μmol/l) × 0.01131222 (considering that 1 mg/dl creatinine = 88.4 μmol/l creatinine). A GFR of 60 or more is within the normal range. A GFR below 60 may indicate kidney disease.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Evolution of dietary parameters : protein consumptionMonth : 6, 12, 18 and 24

24h protein consumption are measured in g/24h.

Evolution of patients' survival for every group during the study periodMonth : 6, 12, 18 and 24

Patients survival is measured as a percentage of remaining patients from baseline.

Evolution of preemptive transplantation during the study period for the three study groupsMonth : 6, 12, 18 and 24

The number of preventive transplants will be compared in each group.

Evolution of biological parameters : alkaline reserve levelsMonth : 6, 12, 18 and 24

Plasma alkaline reserve levels are measured in mmol/l.

Evolution of renal survival over the follow up period for every groupMonth : 6, 12, 18 and 24

Renal survival is measured as a percentage of remaining patients from baseline.

Evolution of biological parameters : plasma calciumMonth : 6, 12, 18 and 24

Plasma Calcium levels are measured as mg/dL.

Evolution of biological parameters : phosphateMonth : 6, 12, 18 and 24

Plasma Phosphate levels are measured as mg/dL.

Evolution of biological parameters : HaemoglobinMonth : 6, 12, 18 and 24

Haemoglobin levels are measured as gram/dL.

Evolution of dietary parameters : salt consumptionMonth : 6, 12, 18 and 24

24h salt consumption are measured in g/24h.

Evolution of biological parameters : parathyroid hormoneMonth : 6, 12, 18 and 24

Plasma parathyroid hormone levels are measured in pg/ml.

Quality of life questionnaire EUROQOL 5 dimensions (EQ-5D-5L)Month : 6, 12, 18 and 24

The descriptive system comprises five dimensions: mobility, personal care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: no problems, mild problems, moderate problems, severe problems and extreme problems. The figures for the five dimensions can be combined into a 5-digit number describing the patient's state of health. Scores close to 1 indicate "the best health you can imagine" and those close to 0 "the worst health you can imagine".
