| Core Tip |
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) awareness has not been examined in a specialty clinic environment. This study examined the associations between CKD awareness, health literacy, CKD self-management behaviors, past performance of self-management behaviors, and kidney function. We found that majority of the participants in our study were aware of having CKD. CKD awareness increased as CKD worsened; however, nearly 40% of patients in CKD stages 1 and 2 and about 6% of patients in CKD stages 3 and 4 were unaware of having CKD. CKD awareness was not related to health literacy, self-management behavior knowledge, or past performance of behaviors. |
