Self-Management Data and Disease Progression in CKD

Official title: A Non-Interventional, Prospective Observational Study to Evaluate Disease Progression and Management Characteristics for the Development of an Integrated Self-Management Data Application in Chronic Kidney Disease

Run by Chungnam National University Hospital · NCT07754097 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests whether patient-recorded self-management data collected via a mobile app can be linked to CKD progression in adults seen at a university hospital.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults 19 to under 85 years with CKD or high risk for CKD requiring ongoing management, who can reliably use the mobile app to record self-management data and have HIS data accessible.

Probably not a fit

Patients who are unable to use the mobile app or whose CKD remains stable without recording changes may see limited personal benefit.

What this trial studies

This is a single-center, prospective observational study enrolling adults with CKD or at high risk, who will use a mobile app to log self-management data alongside routine hospital data over 12 months. Researchers will collect home measurements, medication and diet logs, and HIS-derived clinical metrics to explore associations with disease progression and events such as acute kidney injury or hyperkalemia. Data will be analyzed for patterns between adherence to self-management and clinical outcomes, with user satisfaction assessed at 4, 8, and 12 months. No additional invasive procedures are performed beyond standard care, and all data are drawn from routine clinical Practice and patient-generated records.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the approach could support better CKD self-management and help identify signals of progression to guide care.

How similar studies have gone: Prior work in digital self-management tools for chronic diseases has shown feasibility and some associations with outcomes, but this exact CKD-integrated mobile/HIS approach is relatively novel.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Adult patients aged 19 years or older and under 85 years.
2. Patients visiting the hospital for chronic kidney disease (CKD) management.
3. Patients diagnosed with CKD or identified as high-risk for CKD requiring continuous management (e.g., diabetes mellitus, hypertension, proteinuria, or decreased eGFR).
4. Patients capable of recording self-management data (blood pressure, diet, medication) independently or with assistance through the provided mobile application.
5. Patients whose clinical data can be collected from the Hospital Information System (HIS).

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Patients who do not sign the informed consent form or lack the capacity to fully understand the study protocol and express voluntary consent.
2. Patients currently undergoing maintenance dialysis (hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis) for end-stage kidney disease (ESKD).
3. Patients deemed unsuitable for participation in the study by the investigator.
