The objective of this study is to identify factors associated with renal function decline (progression of chronic kidney disease [CKD]) among patients with CKD and those at high risk for CKD onset (including individuals with diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and obesity), using routinely collected clinical information and laboratory data obtained in daily clinical practice. In addition, this study aims to describe the utilization rates and prescribing patterns of renoprotective agents, such as SGLT2 inhibitors and finerenone, including treatment initiation, continuation, discontinuation, and combination therapy, and to examine the clinical factors associated with these patterns.

Based on existing data routinely obtained in real-world clinical practice, this study aims to clarify factors associated with the risk of CKD progression, thereby contributing to early risk stratification and optimization of target populations for intervention. Furthermore, by visualizing real-world patterns of use of renoprotective medications, such as SGLT2 inhibitors and finerenone, and the factors influencing their prescription, this study seeks to identify gaps between guideline recommendations and actual clinical practice, thereby providing implementation-oriented evidence to promote appropriate use of these agents and to suppress CKD progression and cardiovascular events.
Renal function decline will be evaluated based on the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at baseline and the subsequent eGFR slope (annual rate of decline in eGFR). Associations between renal function decline and patient background characteristics, comorbidities, blood pressure, laboratory data, concomitant medications, and existing clinical items, including nutritional counseling, will be examined.
Renal function decline (CKD progression):eGFR at baseline; subsequent eGFR slope (annual rate of decline in eGFR); associations with patient background characteristics, comorbidities, blood pressure, laboratory data, concomitant medications, and existing clinical items, including nutritional counseling
Use of renoprotective medications: including SGLT2 inhibitors, finerenone, GLP-1 receptor agonists, antihypertensive medications; prescription rates, initiation, continuation, discontinuation, and combination patterns
Cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality
Annual clinical laboratory data: eGFR, Cr, liver function tests, HbA1c, blood pressure, lipid profile, CRP, Na, K, markers of kidney injury, urinary protein
Imaging examinations: ABI, echocardiography, chest X-ray
Treating physician information
Concomitant medications based on medical records: Use of SGLT2 inhibitors, RAS inhibitors, finerenone, GLP-1 receptor agonists, ACE inhibitors/ARBs, and diuretics, and their impact on renal function decline
Associations between renal function decline and multidisciplinary collaboration, including nutritional counseling and chronic kidney disease self-management education
Comorbidity information: Diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and other comorbidities
Prognostic information: ESKD, cardiovascular events, mortality
Baseline information at the time of informed consent: Sex, age, medical history, smoking history, body size, and other relevant baseline characteristics
