Summary

This study tests a mobile app that helps people with kidney problems adjust their water pill (diuretic) doses day by day to control swelling. Thirty participants will use the app for 90 days, entering daily weight and blood pressure readings. The goal is to see if the app helps them reach and maintain a healthy fluid balance more quickly and safely.
