The course covers topics related to care involvement, including:
*
Get informed: Covers CKD stages, phosphorus and the power of three (diet, dialysis and medication), understanding treatment options, knowing your kidney care team, and finding helpful resources.
* Get involved: Describes the value of being a part of your kidney care team, health information trackers, preparing for appointments, using diet and nutrition tracking tools, and joining patient organizations.
* Get support: Explains how to talk to loved ones, start conversations with other patients in the dialysis clinic, and maintain family life.
