Assessing Novel Methods of Improving Patient Education of Nutrition

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Chronic Kidney Disease

In brief

The relationship between elevated phosphorus levels and morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is well recognized, and dietary phosphorus restriction is a mainstay of phosphate management. Current study is an effort to test the effect of a web-based nutritional educational intervention, Kidney School(KS), to improve phosphorous knowledge and control phosphorous intake in CKD patients.
