Overview
The goal of this observational study is to learn about in a total of approximately 2000 patients with cardiovascular disease recruited from about 25 participating sites in China with eGFR<60 ml/min/1.73 m2 and/or UACR>30 mg/g at least twice 3 months apart within the previous 12 months who had been hospitalized in the cardiology department within the previous 12 months. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- To estimate the diagnosis rate of CKD in patients with cardiovascular disease and laboratory evidence of CKD
- To describe the CKD awareness and treatment pattern in patients with cardiovascular disease and laboratory evidence of CKD.
- To describe the socio-demographic and clinical characteristics of CKD in patients with cardiovascular disease and laboratory evidence of CKD
Participants will be invited to undergo a baseline visit, and the demographics, lifestyle factors, clinical characteristics, and laboratory tests will be collected.
