A Cohort Study on the Integrated Management of Chronic Kidney Disease

This study is a multi-center, bidirectional cohort study. The research data are primarily derived from the multidisciplinary clinical cohort of chronic kidney disease (CKD) established by the Department of Nephrology at Huashan Hospital, Fudan University, and are supplemented by external validation platforms at Shanghai Fifth People's Hospital and Shanghai Jing'an District Central Hospital. The study will systematically integrate and utilize the multidimensional cohort resources already established at Huashan Hospital, covering the entire spectrum from early-stage CKD to dialysis, including a real-world database of comorbid populations, a prospective cohort of CKD patients, and a real-world cohort of maintenance hemodialysis patients. Using epidemiological and big data-driven computational approaches, the study will focus on exploring comorbidity patterns associated with CKD and establishing an early classification and early warning system; it will also investigate the mechanisms underlying the progression of kidney disease and related complications such as cardiovascular disease, nutritional and metabolic abnormalities, and osteoporosis, and develop intelligent intervention models. Based on these findings, the study will propose the concept of metabolic balance and accordingly establish precision nutrition and drug evaluation protocols. To ensure the generalizability and reliability of the research outcomes, this study will conduct external validation and effectiveness evaluation of the previously constructed comorbidity patterns, early warning system, and management protocols in the community-based CKD cohort (over 2,000 participants) at Shanghai Fifth People's Hospital and the end-stage renal disease cohort (over 400 participants) at Jing'an District Central Hospital. This will facilitate the widespread application and continuous optimization of the comprehensive CKD management program.
