8%).Median eGFR before guidance was -3.7 -9.45 to -1.4 mL/ min/1.73m 2 /year, compared to -2.2 -4.7 to 0.1 mL/min/1.73m 2 /year after guidance (p = 0.024).Urinary protein levels tended to decrease, but the difference was not significant.The proportion of patients performing home blood pressure monitoring significantly increased from 70.6% to 94.1% (p = 0.003).Conclusion: Comprehensive lifestyle and nutritional counseling was associated with a significant deceleration in CKD progression.The increased rate of home blood pressure monitoring suggests that the intervention may have promoted behavioral change.These findings indicate that comprehensive counseling may contribute to slowing renal function decline by facilitating patient engagement in selfmanagement.I have no potential conflict of interest to disclose.I did not use generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process.
