Nurse-led care for patients with chronic kidney disease

Official title: A Dual-centre, Two-arm, Open-label Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing an Integrated Collaborative Nurse-led Physician-supported Multimorbid Chronic Kidney Disease Care Model Versus Physician-led Care (INTEGREAT-CKD)

Run by Alexandra Hospital · NCT06372743 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing whether a nurse-led care program can help people with chronic kidney disease manage their health better and improve their quality of life compared to regular doctor-led care.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 21 and above with CKD stages 3B and above who have sub-optimally managed health parameters.

Probably not a fit

Patients who are pregnant, have end-stage kidney disease, or have cognitive impairments will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates a nurse-led, physician-supported care model for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and multimorbidity. A total of 220 participants will be randomized into either the intervention group, which receives the INTEGREAT-CKD program involving outpatient consultations and community-based monitoring by advanced practice nurses, or the control group receiving standard physician-led care. The study aims to improve self-management skills, quality of life, and health literacy while assessing the cost-effectiveness of this approach over a six-month period.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enhance the quality of life and self-management skills for patients with chronic kidney disease.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in nurse-led care models for chronic diseases, suggesting potential success for this approach.
