Background

The Indian Chronic Kidney Disease (ICKD) study (https://ickd.georgeinstitute.org.in/) is a multi-centric, prospective, observational cohort study of early stage CKD patients in India which will ascertain rate and factors influencing progression of CKD in India.

Methods

Adult subjects with mild to moderate CKD [estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 30-60 ml/min/1.73m2 or eGFR >60 ml/min/1.73m2 with proteinuria/albuminuria] are eligible for enrolment. Approximately 5000 subjects would be enrolled over 18 months. Time to 50% decline in eGFR, need of renal replacement therapy, CVD event or death are primary end points. A central bio-repository with serial biological samples is coupled with this cohort. Socio-economic aspects of treatment will also be studied.

Results

A total of 1567 subjects have been enrolled in the ICKD cohort till May 2017. The cause of CKD could not be ascertained in 25% of subjects. Chronic glomerulonephritis, diabetic kidney disease and chronic interstitial nephritis are causes for CKD in 16.5%, 18% and 17% of subjects, respectively. Tables 1 shows selective demographic characteristics of enrolled subjects. Majority are males belonging to rural areas with occupation exposure to sand, dust, chemicals or animals etc. 24% subjects had used alternative drugs and 10% had history suggestive of AKI in the past.

Conclusion

This is the first and most comprehensive description of an early stage CKD cohort from a developing country.
