Abstrakt: Rationale & Objective: With a growing number of medications and therapies available to treat chronic kidney disease (CKD), risk-versus-benefit discussions are increasingly critical. Balancing risks and benefits requires assessing patients' understanding of these, as well as incorporating patient preferences and tolerance for side effects into shared decision making.
Study Design: A 26-question online survey was sent to people in the National Kidney Foundation patient email list and posted on associated social media pages to assess the respondents' willingness and comfort with taking preventative medications during earlier-stage CKD to inform a December 2020 scientific workshop co-sponsored by the National Kidney Foundation and the US Food and Drug Administration on clinical trial considerations in developing treatments for individuals with early stages of CKD.
Setting & Population: Online survey of CKD patients, including broad demographic data and responses to risk-benefit scenarios, with surveys emailed to 20,249 people not identified as currently receiving kidney replacement therapy.
Analytical Approach: Survey results are presented as descriptive data.
Results: Of 1,029 respondents, 45 self-identified as at risk for CKD, 566 had CKD, 267 had received kidney transplants, 51 were receiving dialysis, and 100 replied other or did not answer. Respondents reported being willing to assume some risk with the goal of preventing the progression of CKD, with a greater willingness to assume risk and treatment burdens the closer they came to late-stage disease. Clinician recommendations regarding kidney therapies and clinician willingness to work with patients to address any side effects were important in respondents' willingness to initiate and persevere with a new medication.
Limitations: Approximately 10% response rate with limited data on respondents.
Conclusions: Risk-versus-benefit discussions appear key to patients and their care partners making well-informed decisions about taking a new medication that may or may not help the progression of their kidney disease. Future tools and strategies are needed to facilitate informed discussions of treatment in early-stage kidney disease.
