Abstract Background Acute-on-chronic kidney disease (ACKD) is poorly understood and often overlooked. We studied its incidence, circumstances, determinants, and outcomes in patients with CKD. Methods We used the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes criteria to identify all-stage acute kidney injury (AKI) events in 3033 nephrology outpatients with CKD stage 3-5 participating in the CKD-REIN cohort study (2013-2020), and cause-specific Cox models to estimate hazard ratios (HR, 95% confidence intervals [CI]) of AKI-associated risk factors. Results At baseline, 22% of the patients (mean age 67 years, 65% men, mean eGFR 32 ml/min/1.73m2) had a history of AKI. Over a 3-year follow-up, 443 had at least one AKI event: 27% were stage 2 or 3, and 11% required dialysis; 74% involved hospitalization including 47% acquired as hospital inpatients; a third were not reported in hospital discharge reports. Incidence rates were 10.1 and 4.8 per 100 person-years in patients with and without an AKI history, respectively. In 2375 patients without this history, male sex, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cirrhosis, several drugs, low eGFR, and serum albumin levels were significantly associated with a higher risk of AKI, as were low birth weight (<2500 g) (adjusted HR, 1.98; 95%CI, 1.35 to 2.91) and hemoglobin level (HR 1.21; 1.12 to 1.32 per 1 g/dl decrease). Within one year, only 63% of the patients had recovered their previous kidney function, 13.7% had started kidney replacement therapy, and 12.7% had died. Conclusions The study highlights the high rate of hospital-acquired AKI events in patients with CKD, and their underreporting at hospital discharge. It also reveals low birth weight and anemia as possible new risk factors in CKD patients.

National and international guidelines recommend opportunistic screening for chronic kidney disease to allow for early detection and management. Despite these guidelines, screening for chronic kidney disease in general practice settings is often suboptimal. This paper reports the results of a study that evaluated: (a) the effect of an asynchronous web-based e-learning module on general practice nurses’ knowledge about chronic kidney disease risk factors and screening practices; and (b) general practice nurses’ perceived satisfaction with the e-learning module. Changes in chronic kidney disease knowledge were assessed using a pre-test and post-test evaluative design, and satisfaction scores were measured on completion of the module. Participants’ baseline knowledge scores were poor, with mean pre-test scores of 3.77 (s.d. 1.66) out of 10. Post-test scores revealed a significant improvement (mean difference 1.81, (95% CI: 1.53 – 2.09), P < 0.01); however, overall final scores remained inadequate. Participants highly rated their satisfaction with the design of the module. Our results suggest that an asynchronous web-based e-learning module can improve general practice nurses’ knowledge about chronic kidney disease risk factors and screening practice. Efforts are required to increase practice nurses’ access to educational opportunities designed to improve knowledge in this area with the aim of increasing opportunistic screening for chronic kidney disease in the general practice setting.
