An interventional study of conventional low salt education and Intensive low salt dietary education by smartphone application in Albuminuria, sponsored by Yonsei University. Completed at 1 site in Korea, Republic of. Open to participants aged 19 Years to 65 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2020-09-29.

Albuminuria is a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression, all cause mortality. Inhibition of the renin-angiotension-aldosterone system (RAAS) plays an important role in the reduction of albuminuria and preservation of renal function in patients with CKD and it is known that the daily intakes of sodium have a significant effect on the activity of RAAS. Dietary sodium restriction has been shown to enhances the blood pressure, albuminuria, and renal function preservation. Furthermore, recent study has shown that intensive low-salt dietary education reduces albuminuria in patients with CKD. The average sodium intake of Koreans is 4,791 mg/d, which is higher than other countries. It is difficult for medical staff in Korea to invest enough time in low salt diet.
Recently, the development of health-related applications (apps) has been carried out worldwidely, and researches on lifestyle improvement using apps have been actively studied. However, there is no research yet on whether intensive education using an apps can affect lifestyle habits and thus changes in actual new features. Smartphone apps may provide an alternative to resource-intensive low salt diet-education. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effect of intensive low salt diet training on the changes of albuminuria using application.
This is an pen-label, case-control, randomized clinical trial.
Usual education : Conventional education at an outpatient clinic Intensive education : Low salt diet education through Smartphone app
The patients in the conventional education group will receive routine CKD education once at an outpatient clinic. Otherwise, the patients in the intensive education group will be trained low salt diet through smartphone app.
Exclusion Criteria:
Behavioral: conventional low salt education
Behavioral: Intensive low salt dietary education by smartphone application
conventional low salt education
Participants are provided with information on food and recipe, which allows them to record daily meals in their applications. Through the mobile application, the participants receive information on daily salt intake. Based on this information, the clinical nutritionist coach sets a goal for low salt diet and provides feedback to the patients through the mobile application. The clinical nutritionist coach checks the activity of the user more than twice a week and sends in-app messages to maintain compliance.
