CKD is a global endemic disease with increased comorbidities and mortality. The prevalence and the incidence of the end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are extremely high in Taiwan. Early diagnosis of disease and proper management remain challenging. The aims of this study are: 1. Explore risk factors associated with CKD 2. Establish multidisciplinary care model for CKD patients 3. Development cost-effective clinical care pathway for CKD 4. Provide bio-specimen repository for future study
