A Study to Identify and Characterise Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease and Proteinuria

An International, Non-randomised, Non-interventional, Multicentre Study to Identify and Characterise Patients With CKD and High Proteinuria for Possible Participation in Future Renal Clinical Studies.

The purpose of the D4325C00007 study is to identify and characterise patients with known or newly diagnosed CKD for possible participation in future renal clinical studies and to obtain an overview on current treatment choices for this patient group in different regions.

2. Express interest to participate in a future CKD clinical study
3. eGFR ≥ 20 to < 90 mL/min/1.73 m2 (eGFRcr[AS], Section 8.2.1) (Delgado et al 2022, Inker et al. 2021)
4. UACR ≥ 700 mg/g or UPCR ≥ 1000 mg/g based on urine sample at time of screening visit
5. Receiving RAS inhibitor therapy (ACEi or ARB) that has been at stable dosing for at least 4 weeks. Exceptions from this requirement will be made for participants who are unable to tolerate RAS inhibitor therapy
6. Provision of signed and dated written informed consent before any study-specific procedures

6. Known blood-borne diseases such as specified in Appendix B (category A and B)
7. Known pregnancy at the time for the visit or have an intention to become pregnant
