Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This is a 12 month randomized clinical trial in which patients with renal failure undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) therapy will be placed on a volume reduction protocol that includes a novel low sodium dietary education program mediated by a lifestyle interventionist with significant collaboration from the existing clinic staff. Participating patients will be randomized to receive: 1) the volume control protocol alone (VC), or 2) the volume control protocol + physical activity and exercise counseling (VCE) from the lifestyle interventionist (LI). A research dietitian (RD), working in collaboration with the existing clinic RD, will develop a program to immerse clinics in a culture of sodium restriction. The research RD will train the LI and other clinic staff (nurses, technicians, etc) to help disseminate this program, modeled after the clinic-wide dissemination approach used in Izmir, Turkey (Dr. Ercan Ok). In addition, the LI will provide exercise and physical activity counseling to the participants randomized to the exercise group, utilizing a SCT-based approach. The Investigators hypothesize that mean arterial pressure will be reduced, and physical function increased, in all patients at 12 months, but the magnitude of these improvements will be greater in the VCE group.
