- Patient compliance to Ketosteril (number of tablets taken; patient reported) [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
This is an observational study aiming to characterise the patient profile and contemporary treatment of pre-dialytic chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients receiving a restricted protein diet supplemented with Ketosteril®. There is no distinction between primary and secondary outcome measures in the observational plan, and only Routine procedures are documented.
Patient compliance to Ketosteril will be assessed daily, for a total of 12 months.
- Patient compliance to diet (protein and energy intake; investigator and patient-reported, based on patient diary and a routine 3-day food diary) [ Time Frame: Monthly, starting 1 month after enrolment, for a total of 12 months ]This is an observational study aiming to characterise the patient profile and contemporary treatment of pre-dialytic chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients receiving a restricted protein diet supplemented with Ketosteril®. There is no distinction between primary and secondary outcome measures in the observational plan, and only Routine procedures are documented.
