This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing a new way to help doctors care for people with advanced chronic kidney disease. Instead of only talking about symptoms when you visit the clinic, you would report your symptoms electronically every month. Your doctor would then receive a summary of your symptoms to help guide your care decisions. The study wants to see if this regular check-in improves your quality of life over 12 months.
People with advanced kidney disease often experience many uncomfortable symptoms like fatigue, itching, and nausea, but doctors may not always know how bad these symptoms are. This study exists to find out whether regularly tracking symptoms and sharing them with your doctor can help manage these symptoms better and improve your overall well-being.

If you join this study, you would be randomly placed in one of two groups. One group uses a special electronic survey to report kidney-related symptoms every month for a year, and your doctors receive summaries of your responses. The other group continues with regular care without special symptom tracking. All participants answer questions about their quality of life at the start and will complete questionnaires online, by mail, or by phone—whatever works best for you. The study lasts 12 months total.
