Report of health checkup system for chronic kidney disease in general population in Okayama city: effect of health guidance intervention on chronic kidney disease outcome.

Conclusion: In both compromised renal function group and risk group, more than half of subjects kept their kidney function (217/243) and decreased the number of CKD risks (260/410) in 2 years' follow-up. Receiving a health checkup itself and notification of one's own health condition could exert a protective effect on kidney function. PMID: 31308723 [PubMed]
