Managing chronic kidney disease with a whole-person care approach
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how to better manage chronic kidney disease (CKD) across different stages. It involves tracking patients' health and diet over time, and may help improve care for people on dialysis and those with early kidney problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Aged between 18 and 90 years (for the part of the study looking back at records)
- For the part that looks forward: You are on long-term hemodialysis (at least 3 months) with complete dialysis records at a participating hospital
- For the part that looks back: You have chronic kidney disease stages 1–5 (not on dialysis) diagnosed for at least 3 months, and you are between 18 and 80 years old

This study tests a program that helps older adults with advanced chronic kidney disease talk with their doctors about treatment options, like dialysis, palliative care, or a kidney transplant. It aims to make sure patients' values and preferences are heard in these important decisions.
This study tests a program to help people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stay healthy through diet tracking and other proactive steps. It focuses on people whose kidney function has declined but who are not yet on dialysis.
This study tests if regularly tracking your blood pressure, diet, and medications through a mobile app can help monitor kidney disease progression. It aims to see if this self-management approach helps you stay healthier.
This study evaluates whether MyRenalCare, a digital platform that helps patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) monitor and manage their condition, improves health outcomes and patient experience. Researchers will compare people using the platform with those receiving standard care, and interview patients and staff about their experiences.
This study collects health information from people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and also from some people without CKD but with kidney risk factors. It helps doctors understand how CKD develops and how it’s managed in everyday life, not to test a new drug.
This study is collecting information from people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) to understand how the disease progresses over time. It does not test any new treatments, so you keep your usual care.
