CKDNET recognizes the importance of preventing and reducing kidney disease and is committed to expanding the academic roles of Khon Kaen University in solving health problems in rural areas where population may lack knowledge and access to adequate medical services. The project is a network of cooperation between departments within Khon Kaen University, from 8 faculties (Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Nursing, Faculty of Public Health, Faculty of Pharmacy, Faculty of Medical Technology, Faculty of Engineering, Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Agriculture), the Institute for Strategic Research and Collaboration for Northeastern Development and organizations outside the University such as the Institute of Defense Technology and the Provincial Public Health Office, hospitals, Ministry of Interior (such as Governor, Provincial Administrative Organization, District Administrative Organization, Municipality, Sub-district, Village headmen) to support medical / health sciences personnel and Village Health Volunteers, and Family Health Volunteers working on care and prevention of kidney disease. The project has ongoing government funding through Khon Kaen University, Research grants from the Thailand Science Research and Innovation (TSRI), through Program Management Unit for Competitiveness (PMUC), Office of the National Council for Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation Policy, and the National Research Office (NRCT) since 2016.
CKDNET has carried out a number of 8 projects, [i.e., Prevention and reduction of kidney disease in urban communities; Prevention and reduction of chronic kidney disease in rural communities; Development of a rigorous and comprehensive chronic kidney disease patient care program; Cost-Effective Analysis of the Rigorous CKD Care Program; Digital Development Project for Kidney Disease Prevention; Innovative project for screening and treating chronic kidney disease; Project on study effects of environmental pollution and global warming on the occurrence of NCDs.; A population-wide assessment and treatment project for urinary tract stones for kidney disease at-risk groups and patients with kidney disease and to review of multiple strategies for maximum efficiency, and cost-savings covering the entire health service system, care and treatment system, and social welfare system, (fuller details in www.ckd.kku.ac.th and QR codes at the end of the document).
The project has mentored researchers at primary care units and hospitals in Khon Kaen Province to develop patient treatment guidelines, including new treatment approaches such as the Khon Kaen People’s Healthy Kidney Project. This project is a collaboration between Khon Kaen University, Provincial Public Health Office, Khon Kaen Municipality, Khon Kaen Hospital, and has been presented the Governor of Khon Kaen Province, and expanded to other Northeast areas, into the 12th health zone in Southern Thailand area
CKDNET has also collaborated with the National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA) through the National Electronics and Computer Technology Center (NECTEC) to develop quality innovations, such as, marker sensors for screening and monitoring symptoms of early kidney disease, via substances like “NGAL” (Neutrophil Gelatinase-associated Lipocalin) using electro-chemistry techniques, and the National Center for Nanotechnology (NANOTEC) to develop a kit for quantitative and qualitative determination of albumin in urine for point-of-care testing to prevent and slow chronic kidney disease in the community, and also to develop water quality monitoring kits, especially for heavy metal, herbicide, and pesticide contamination in Ubonrat Dam and for 35 km along the Phong River.
