Summary

This completed study asked 140 people in the UK—including patients with chronic kidney disease, their families, healthcare professionals, and researchers—to identify the most important outcomes for self-managing the disease before dialysis is needed. Through multiple survey rounds, participants rated and ranked what matters most. The results will help guide future research and improve support for people living with kidney disease.
