Educational program to improve dietary adherence in chronic kidney disease patients
Effect of an Educational Program on Dietary Adherence, Nutritional Knowledge, Nutritional Status, Metabolic Control and Quality of Life in Predialysis, Peritoneal Dialysis and Hemodialysis Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease
This study is testing an educational program to see if it can help people with chronic kidney disease stick to their diets and improve their nutritional knowledge.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates the impact of a multidisciplinary educational program aimed at enhancing dietary adherence and nutritional knowledge among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: predialysis educational intervention, dialysis educational intervention, or a control group. The program includes assessments of nutritional status, biochemical parameters, and quality of life, alongside educational workshops designed to improve adherence to dietary restrictions. The goal is to address the challenges patients face in adhering to nutritional therapy, which is crucial for managing CKD effectively.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are men and women over 18 years old residing in Mexico City with a diagnosis of chronic kidney disease in the predialysis phase or undergoing peritoneal or hemodialysis for more than three months.
Not a fit: Patients with uncorrected cognitive problems or severe neurological alterations induced by renal failure may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could significantly improve dietary adherence and overall quality of life for patients with chronic kidney disease.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown that educational programs can enhance knowledge and improve quality of life in CKD patients, although the direct impact on dietary adherence remains less clear.
