Information for
Clinicians

Clinical caregivers are central to advances for patients with kidney diseases. As key stakeholders, clinicians can increase awareness and participation in the KPMP. Readily available study information and videos of patient experiences are provided to bring the KPMP to a broad clinical community.

Study criteria

KPMP enrolls participants with CKD or AKI. CKD participants may have diabetic kidney disease or hypertensive kidney disease. Inclusion criteria for each study cohort and the general exclusion critieria is listed below.

Inclusion

Diabetic Kidney Disease (Type 1 or 2)

  • eGFR 30-59mL/min/1.73m2 OR
  • eGFR ≥ 60 with UPCR >150mg/g or UACR >30 mg/g

Diabetic Kidney Disease Resilient Individuals Inclusion Criteria

  • Type 1 diabetes for over 25 years
  • Estimated glomerular filtration rate greater than or equal to 60 mL/min/1.73m2
  • Urine albumin excretion less than 30 mg/d (or mg/g creatinine)

Hypertensive Kidney Disease

  • eGFR30-59/min/1.73m2 with UPCR or UACR
  • eGFR ≥ 60 with UACR 30-2000mg/g or UPCR 150-2000 mg/g

Acute Kidney Injury

  • Baseline eGFR >45mL/min/1.73m2
  • Elevated serum creatinine ≥1.5x baseline, AND one of the following:
  • Further serum creatinine increase of 0.3 mg/dL
  • Positive kidney injury urine biomarkers (NGAL, Kim1, TIMP2 x IGFBP7)

Study procedures

KPMP participants are asked to do the following:

  • Have a biopsy of their kidney for research purposes.
  • Give blood, urine and stool.
  • Provide our study team with information about them.
  • Talk to our study team 2-3 times a year for up to 10 years.
