Summary
This study tests whether a smartphone app can help people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) follow the latest KDIGO treatment guidelines. Researchers will enroll 80 adults aged 16-30 with CKD who own a smartphone. The app provides reminders, education, and care recommendations to both patients and doctors. The goal is to see if using the app improves adherence to guidelines, which could delay kidney disease progression and reduce complications.
