This randomized controlled trial investigates the use of Patient-reported Outcome (PRO) follow-up among patients with chronic kidney disease. Usual outpatient follow-up visits will be replaced with diagnosis-specific electronic questionnaires filled in by the patient at home. Participants in the PRO-based follow up will complete a disease specific questionnaire every 3 months. Patients with an estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) < 40mL/min are randomized into three groups of follow-up PRO-based follow-up (The clinicians use the PRO data to decide whether a patient needs a visit or not) PRO-based telephone consultations (The clinician use the PRO-data to support the communication with the patient) Usual outpatient follow-up visits (Patients are seen in the outpatient clinic) The aim of this study is to compare the effect on the clinical outcomes, the utilisation of resources, and patient-reported outcome in three types of follow-up in a non-inferiority randomised controlled trial.
