Dietary Education Intervention Impact on Dietary Protein Intake in PD

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Dietary Modification

• Registration Number: NCT02426580
• Lead Sponsor: The Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University

Brief Summary

This study is a prospective randomized controlled pilot trial/(a combined prospective and retrospective study). The investigators will use wechat intervening dietary protein intake in patients treated with peritoneal dialysis.

Detailed Description

Malnutrition is highly prevalent in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients, and protein malnutrition will adversely affect outcomes. The investigators develop a dietary education intervention for PD patients to improve fundamental food knowledge that will increase protein intake to target level of 1.2 g/kg of protein intake per day. In additional the dietary intervention will provide information about sodium, phosphorus, calcium intake. To more effectively deliver the intervention, the investigators explored a technology using social media in China called wechat. The purpose of this study is to test whether a dietary intervention can be more effective when delivered using wechat compared to a traditional patient education intervention delivered during routing clinical visits.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Normalized Protein Catabolic Rate (nPCR)	12 months	We use software (PD ADEQUEST 2.0) to conduct the Peritoneal Equilibration Test (PET) test. The result of PET test can offered the value of nPCR. nPCR can estimate daily protein intake of patients. Its units is g/(kg\*d).
