Remote Dietary Counseling Using Smartphone Applications in Patients With Stages 1-3a Chronic Kidney Disease: A Mixed Methods Feasibility Study

Our objective was to determine the feasibility of dietary smartphone application–supported telecounseling to reduce sodium intake and improve dietary quality in patients with early CKD.
