CKD Leaders Network Publishes New Thought Piece in Journal of Clinical Medicine

NEW YORK, March 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In support of National Kidney Month, CKD Leaders Network, a Kinetix Group Network of Excellence dedicated to defining and spreading a best practice model for population health-driven chronic kidney disease (CKD) management, announced its new manuscript in the Journal of Clinical Medicine.

"At The Kinetix Group, we are committed to improving care delivery through collaboration and innovation," said Anna Thomas, executive vice president. "This publication exemplifies the Networks of Excellence mission to spread and scale best practices and accelerate the implementation of models that improve delivery for patients with chronic disease."

CKD affects approximately 37 million individuals in the United States. With its substantial morbidity and mortality, the disease contributes a huge economic burden to the healthcare system. 

"We need urgent implementation strategies that can translate research to clinical practice and increase the use of highly effective new medications for improving lives of patients with CKD," said Manisha Jhamb, MD, MPH, a nephrologist, associate professor of medicine and director of populations health management at the University of Pittsburgh.   

Findings from the manuscript highlight the universal CKD management challenges across US health systems. 

"With a growing list of treatment options for CKD, there is an unmet need to develop standardized approaches to ensure that appropriate patients are treated," said Tyler Gluckman, MD, FACC, medical director of the Center for Cardiovascular Analytics, Research and Data Science at Providence St. Joseph Heart Institute.

The authors met criteria for authorship as recommended by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) and were fully responsible for all aspects of the trial and publication development.
