Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Changes of creatinine clearance from baseline at 120 weeks

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1) Event free survival (EFS) with renal composite events with renal replacement therapy and 50% reduction of creatinine clearance up to 120 weeks 2) Changes of eGFR using cystatin C from baseline at 120 weeks 3) Changes of estimated protein intake per ideal body weight from the baseline at 120 weeks 4) Changes of physical measurement (Body weight, BMI, walking speed (6 m), grip strength, calf circumference, chair stand test (30 seconds)) results from the baseline at 120 weeks 5) Changes of body composition results from the baseline at 120 weeks 6) Changes of prescribed medicines from the baseline at 120 weeks 7) Period until it becomes positive for sarcopenia screening test
