Active substance

Community health worker support (behavioral intervention)

What this could lead to

If it works, this program could help people with kidney disease start dialysis or get a transplant in a planned way, avoiding emergency procedures and improving quality of life.

What could go wrong

This is a phase 2 trial with 448 participants, so results are still early. The program may not reduce emergency dialysis starts or improve outcomes for everyone.
