Predictors of Rapid CKD Progression

This prospective observational cohort study aims to identify independent predictors of rapid chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression and determine its incidence among predialysis CKD patients. A total of 190 adult patients will be enrolled from the nephrology outpatient clinic and inpatient ward at Assiut University Hospitals and followed for 24 months. Rapid progression is defined as a sustained decline in eGFR \> 5 mL/min/1.73 m² per year according to KDIGO 2024 criteria. Clinical and laboratory parameters will be assessed at baseline and during follow-up to identify predictive factors
