Kidney Check: Diabetes, Blood Pressure & Kidney Health Checks & Care in Indigenous Communities.

Optimal Approaches to Chronic Kidney Disease Case Finding in Indigenous Communities

Conditions

Hypertension Diabetes Chronic Kidney Disease

Summary

Faced with limited access to preventative health care services, Indigenous people living in rural and remote communities are at a higher risk of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and kidney failure, when compared to the general population. The goal of this project is to perform point-of-care testing for CKD and its risk factors, including diabetes and high blood pressure, for individuals residing in rural and remote Indigenous communities across the Canadian provinces of Manitoba, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Ontario. In addition to providing individuals with information about their risk of developing CKD, as well as providing tailored treatment plans, this study will help provide evidence to develop a permanent CKD surveillance system in all Indigenous communities across Canada, consequently decreasing the burden of CKD and kidney failure in these communities.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This program is offering free health checks for diabetes, high blood pressure, and kidney health to Indigenous community members, with the goal of catching problems early and providing better ongoing care. **You may be eligible if...** - You are between 10 and 80 years old - You are a member of the participating Indigenous community - You do NOT need to have diabetes, high blood pressure, or kidney disease to participate **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are younger than 10 or older than 80 years of age - There are no other exclusion criteria — this program is open to everyone in the eligible age range Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

OTHERPoint-of-care screening

After consent is obtained, a registered nurse will administer a demographic questionnaire, collecting the participant's personal health number, age, gender, date of birth, and name of community. Physical data including height, weight, and blood pressure will also be collected. A blood sample and a urine sample will be taken, with point-of-care testing being performed during the screening appointment to allow for results of the testing to be received and discussed with each patient at the time of the appointment. After screening, to ensure a "closed loop" system of care, patients at the highest risk of kidney failure will be referred to a nephrologist, while those at lower risk will be referred to their primary care provider with specific treatment and re-testing recommendations.
