Summary

This trial aims to develop and implement tools to help identify and support patients with advanced chronic kidney disease. The project also aims to test new interventions to address structural racism contributing to kidney health disparities and collaborate with

Who is the study for?

This trial is for individuals with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). It's designed to help those affected by structural racism that contributes to kidney health disparities. Participants should be interested in engaging with community-based interventions and willing to follow a new clinical decision support system.

What is being tested?

The study tests a kidney health coaching (KHC) intervention against usual care, aiming to streamline patient care for CKD. The goal is to see if KHC can delay the need for kidney replacement therapy, prevent the use of central venous catheters, or reduce mortality rates.

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves health coaching rather than medication, traditional side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience changes in their healthcare routine which could affect their daily life.
