This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether personalized kidney health coaching can help people with serious kidney disease live longer and stay healthier without needing dialysis. The coaching is delivered by trained coaches who have their own experience with kidney disease and help you understand your condition, make treatment decisions, and connect with support.
Many people with advanced kidney disease, especially African Americans, face unfair barriers to good care and information. This study aims to see whether dedicated coaching can help people better manage their kidney health and potentially avoid or delay the need for dialysis treatment.

If you are randomly assigned to receive coaching, you will work with a kidney health coach for six months who will help you understand your kidney disease, set health goals, and learn how to manage your condition. You'll have regular phone calls and meetings to discuss your kidney health, medications, diet, and treatment options. Those in the usual care group will receive standard kidney disease treatment wherever they normally receive care at Emory Healthcare.
