About this study

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.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • 1. All patients followed at the PD center who successful completed training and have received treatment for at least 1 month.
  • 2. The life expectancy will be more than one year.
  • 3. All patients will provide written informed consent.

Treatment and study plan

wechat

Behavioral

The wechat model of dietary education every 1 month by cellphone

Other names: wechat model

Primary outcomes

  1. Normalized Protein Catabolic Rate (nPCR)

    Time frame: 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).
