Background

Few specifics were proved effective to delay DKD progression while accumulating evidence supported potential merits of self-management on it. This study aimed to evaluate the association between self-management and progression of non-dialysis CKD3-5 DKD patients.

Methods

Data including demographics, procedure notes, laboratory findings, and medication of the included cohort were analyzed. The cohort was divided into self-management group and control group based on previous self-management exposure. The between-group comparison of renal function at 2 years and survival analysis were conducted.

Results

Total 92 patients were included(47 in self-management group and 45 in control group). Declined serum creatinine level and preserved eGFR were detected in self-management group after 2 years both with no significant difference(P =0.695,0.922), while significantly higher serum creatinine level(P=0.010) and decreased eGFR with no evident significance(P =0.059) after 2 years were found in control group. We defined eGFR<5ml/min/1.73 m2, initiation of renal replacement therapy and death as composite endpoints, and performed time-to-event survival analysis. Ten endpoint events in self-management group(mean survival time 221.31±12.97 weeks) and 17 in control group(mean survival time 168.63±15.03 weeks) were recorded, with significant difference between group comparison(χ2=6.319,P =0.012). Further Cox proportional hazards regression with three adjusted models showed that self-management engagement was an independent factor associated with reduced risk of incident endpoints.

Conclusion

The findings documented predisposing preserved renal function of patients with self-management at 2 years and self-management engagement as an independent factor for decreased risk of endpoints, indicating its potential benefits on delaying DKD progression.
