Key Points

  • The aim is to identify gaps between evidence-based practices and actual CKD management in Japanese primary care settings.
  • Analyzed electronic health records from primary care in Japan.
  • Evaluated the frequency of proteinuria testing and hemoglobin level management.
  • Assessed the evaluation of iron parameters in CKD patients.
  • Identified limited proteinuria testing among patients.
  • Found incidents of hemoglobin levels exceeding clinical guidelines.
  • Noted inadequate evaluation of iron parameters in CKD management.

Abstract

Evidence-practice gaps in CKD management were identified in Japanese primary care settings, including limited proteinuria testing and raising hemoglobin levels above guideline-recommended limits, despite inadequate evaluation of iron parameters. These findings indicate that systematic quality improvement initiatives are needed to improve CKD management in primary care.
