A new publication from the Chronic Kidney Disease Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study (CKDopps) in the journal Clinical Nephrology shows the first results of a German national electronic registry of nephrology clinic data for chronic kidney disease (CKD). A large network of German nephrologists studied German CKD patients to develop an evidence base about the course of CKD. Data collected will be used to study CKD treatment variation and the most effective practices under routine care for the treatment of advanced CKD. Registry data will serve as a resource for future observation of CKD patients in Germany. To view the abstract, related graphics, and full citation for this publication, please click here.
