Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) seriously affects the quality of life and survival time of patients, and even affects social and national economic development. In China, how to effectively control the disease process of CKD outpatients has not been determined. A retrospective analysis was made to 100 patients with CKD. Fifty patients treated with traditional clinical treatment were in the control group, and the other fifty patients treated with multidisciplinary team (MDT) clinical treatment were in the MDT group. The prognosis of the two groups after treatment was compared, including glomerular filtration rate (GFR), number of renal replacement treatments, and mortality, to evaluate the actual effect of MDT clinic. CKD patients in the MDT group received the MDT clinic for 24 months. There was no significant difference between GFR and serum creatinine level before treatment, and the quality of life was significantly higher than before. In the control group, the GFR declined more dramatically, the serum creatinine level was higher, and the quality of life was lower than before (P < 0.05). The frequency of renal replacement therapy and mortality in the MDT group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). MDT clinic can effectively improve the prognosis of patients with CKD, delay kidney disease progression, and reduce mortality.
