Summary

A low phosphorus diet is recommended for patients with chronic kidney disease who exhibit high levels of phosphorus. The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of a more intensive, innovative dietary phosphorus educational intervention on reducing serum phosphorus levels, as well as improving dietary adherence, dietary satisfaction and phosphorus knowledge level in patients with chronic kidney disease.

BEHAVIORAL

Intensive dietary phosphorus education

Intensive dietary phosphorus education will be completed using the Phosphorus Point System Tool, a booklet listing phosphorus points for food items based on the phosphorus content. Patients will be allotted a maximum of 32-40 phosphorus points daily. Points consumed will be tracked by the patients via daily tracking sheets which require patients to list the phosphorus food items consumed, the number of points, and the time and amount of phosphate binders. Patients in this group will also receive intensive education about phosphorus additives. As a part of the program that supports the tool, patients will receive weekly telephone calls for the first 6 weeks to address any questions about the tool and find phosphorus point values of foods not listed within the tool.
