Summary
Managing the hydration status in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) is a key task for nephrologists in Thailand that is made difficult due to lack of timely access to hydration metrics including weight, blood pressure, and ultrafiltration volume. This research project aims to improve the monitoring of hydration status in PD patients from a bimonthly, in-clinic review of a handwritten log-book to a smart phone based app (CKD-PD) with digitized data that allows for near real time monitoring hydration abnormalities, thereby creating the opportunity for earlier treatment of overhydration. The investigators hypothesize that use of the CKD-PD will improve early treatment of overhydration, and potentially reduce the incidence of complications, hospitalizations, and mortality in PD patients.
