Summary

This study compares three ways to help people with advanced chronic kidney disease prepare for hemodialysis vascular access. 360 participants will either get a video and brochure, the same materials plus coaching sessions, or usual care. The goal is to see which approach helps more patients actually get the surgery needed for dialysis access.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Educational materials and motivational interviewing
What this could lead to: If successful, this could show that better education and coaching help more patients get the right vascular access for dialysis on time.
What could go wrong: This is a behavioral study, not a drug trial, so it won't directly change disease outcomes. Results may vary by patient motivation and clinic support.
