Population characteristics and diagnosis rate of chronic kidney disease by eGFR and proteinuria in Japanese clinical practice: an observational database study.


ABSTRACT: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) guidelines recommend early identification and intervention to delay the progression of CKD. The Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) heatmap is widely used for risk evaluation in CKD management; however, real-world evidence on clinical characteristics based on the KDIGO heatmap remains limited worldwide including Japan. In order to understand the management of CKD including its diagnostic rates in a Japanese clinical setting on the basis of KDIGO heatmap, we utilized a medical record database that contains estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urine protein data. Adult individuals (≥ 18 years) with two eGFR results of < 90 mL/min/1.73 m2, 90-360 days apart, were included. Approximately half of patients (452,996/788,059) had proteinuria test results and 6.9% (54,073) had quantitative results. CKD diagnosis rate in patients without proteinuria data was 5.9%, with a lower rate (2.9%) in stage G2; the corresponding rates with quantitative test results were 43.5% and 31.3%, respectively. The most frequent comorbidities were hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease, and their prevalence increased as the eGFR and proteinuria stages progressed. This study revealed a low rate of proteinuria assessment, especially using quantitative methods, and diagnosis in individuals with suspected CKD. With emerging treatment options to prevent CKD progression and complication onset, there is a need for early evaluation and diagnosis of CKD.
