Willing and able to give informed consent and comply with the study protocol. 2. Male or female 3. Aged 18 years or above.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Both kidney disease patients and healthy controls: 1. Age <18 years 2. Any other significant disease or disorder which, in the opinion of the patient’s own clinician, may either put the participants at risk because of participation in the study, or may influence the result of the study, or the participant’s ability to participate in the study. 3.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Circulating markers of oxidative stress, pro/anti-inflammatory status, immune parameters and relevant genotyping are measured from a blood sample at entry and up to 5 further timepoints in a 36 month period

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Muscle and fat mass are measured using Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis at entry and up to 5 further timepoints in a 36 month period 2. Height, weight, waist and hip circumference are measured at entry and up to 5 further timepoints in a 36 month period 3. Clinical parameters (such as medications, blood and urine test results, co-morbidities, outcomes and healthcare usage) are extracted from medical records throughout the study 4. Blood markers of renal disease and co-morbidities (CVD risk, metabolic and immune function) are measured from a blood sample at entry and up to 5 further timepoints in a 36 month period 5. Urine markers of renal disease and co-morbidities (oxidative stress, microRNA expr35090ession, markers of muscle mass) are measured from a urine sample at entry and up to 5 further timepoints in a 36 month period 6. Muscle size is measured using ultrasound and muscle quality is measured using myotonometry at entry and up to 5 further timepoints in a 36 month period 7. Physical functioning is measured using the Duke Activity Status Index (DASI) at entry and up to 5 further timepoints in a 36 month period 8. CKD symptoms are measured using the Kidney Symptom Questionnaire (KSQ) at entry and up to 5 further timepoints in a 36 month period
