Study Overview
This study focused on how a special nursing program that helps patients manage their water and salt intake can affect blood pressure and overall health in people with chronic kidney disease.
Methodology
From January 2020 to January 2023, 120 patients with chronic kidney disease were treated at our hospital. They were divided into two groups:
- Control Group: 60 patients received standard dietary education.
- Observation Group: 60 patients received intensive support for managing their water and salt intake along with standard education.
We compared blood pressure, fluid levels, and other health indicators after 6 months.
Results
Both groups saw improvements in blood pressure, but the observation group had even better results:
- Lower levels of excess body water.
- Higher urine output.
- Improved blood health indicators like hemoglobin and kidney function.
- Better adherence to the treatment plan.
- Fewer complications (3.33% vs. 13.33%).
Conclusion
Intensive nursing support for managing water and salt intake can significantly improve blood pressure and reduce health complications in patients with chronic kidney disease. This method should be adopted in healthcare practices.
