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.

Active substance: Diuretic Tuner mobile application
What this could lead to: If it works, this app could help people with kidney disease manage fluid buildup more easily at home, reducing hospital visits.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early study with only 30 people. The app may not work for everyone, and daily self-monitoring can be burdensome.
