Kidney Check: Diabetes, Blood Pressure & Kidney Health Checks & Care in Indigenous Communities.

"After consent is obtained, a registered nurse will administer a demographic questionnaire, collecting the participant's personal health number, age, gender, date of birth, and name of community. Physical data including height, weight, and blood pressure will also be collected. A blood sample and a urine sample will be taken, with point-of-care testing being performed during the screening appointment to allow for results of the testing to be received and discussed with each patient at the time of the appointment. After screening, to ensure a closed loop system of care, patients at the highest risk of kidney failure will be referred to a nephrologist, while those at lower risk will be referred to their primary care provider with specific treatment and re-testing recommendations."
