Study summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to Improve the quality of life in Hemodialysis patient. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • [Improve the self-compliance of dialysis patients with weight management]
  • [alleviate the volume load of dialysis patients and reduce cardiovascular complications] Participants will be divided into two groups based on a weight management regimen: Control group: received routine outpatient management. Specific methods: The dialysis doctor registered the information of the patient\'s weight and blood pressure at the end of dialysis, and informed the patient of the purpose, role and importance of weight management.

Intervention group: On the basis of routine outpatient management, patients or their family members were subjected to remote follow-up management based on wechat, and the follow-up time was 6 months. Specific methods: Same as the control group, the information of weight and blood pressure of the patients was registered at the end of dialysis, and the purpose, role and importance of weight management were informed to the patients. On this basis, a special wechat signal is set up to add patients or patients\' family members as wechat friends and establish a wechat interaction platform with patients. In the interdialysis period, remind patients to weigh themselves through wechat (the time of each weighing is fixed, preferably consistent with the time of weighing in the hemodialysis center), control the weight gain during the interdialysis period not to exceed 4.5% of dry weight, and inform patients again about the purpose, role and importance of weight management.

  • Patients themselves or family members can use wechat;

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Have a cognitive or intellectual disability unable to read and understand SMS;
  • Have mental illness;
  • Other serious complications occurred
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
