-Frequency of urine tests (urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio, urine protein-to-creatinine ratio, qualitative proteinuria) for patients with CKD risk factors
-Monitoring frequency for diagnosed patients
-Frequency of blood tests for patients recognized as having CKD
Treatment status
-Utilization of specific medications for CKD patients with comorbid diabetes mellitus or albuminuria/proteinuria
Status of guideline engagement
-Awareness of the "Clinical practice guidebook for diagnosis and treatment of chronic kidney disease 2024" and "Evidence-based clinical practice guideline for CKD 2023"
-Possession status of the "Clinical practice guidebook for diagnosis and treatment of chronic kidney disease 2024"
-Reasons for non-possession of the "Clinical practice guidebook for diagnosis and treatment of chronic kidney disease 2024"
Clinical practice and attitudes
-Self-confidence in CKD management
-Recognition of the necessity to evaluate renal function in at-risk patients
-Disease naming conventions used for registration
-Implementation status of specific checks/confirmations for patients diagnosed with CKD
Observational
| Not applicable |
| Not applicable |
Male and Female

This study is an implementation science study (Phase 1) intended to inform the development and evaluation of a multichannel support program to improve chronic kidney disease diagnosis and management in primary care in Japan. An online questionnaire survey of primary care physicians working in clinics in Japan will be conducted to assess their knowledge of chronic kidney disease, current practices in diagnosis, screening, and treatment, and the barriers and support needs associated with routine clinical care.
