Key result
Management with the Reset Kidney Health virtual care model resulted in 84% of patients with stage 3 or 4 chronic kidney disease experiencing stabilization or improvement in their estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate.
Why the study?
Does Reset Kidney Health's virtual care model improve eGFR in patients with chronic kidney disease?

Does Reset Kidney Health's virtual care model improve eGFR in patients with chronic kidney disease?
A virtual, multidisciplinary care model may help stabilize or improve kidney function in patients with CKD.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May support virtual multidisciplinary CKD care; hypothesis-generating and requires randomized confirmation before practice change.
The advent of virtual healthcare has reshaped patient management paradigms across various medical domains. This analysis examines the potential effectiveness of treating chronic kidney disease (CKD) using Reset Kidney Health's virtual, multidisciplinary, and integrated care approach. The pilot study concentrated on evaluating the impact of this care model on the estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) of CKD patients over an eight-month period. The analyses showed that a majority of patients managed with the Reset Kidney Health Model experienced stability or improvements in their kidney function, as measured by eGFR. While this pilot study has several limitations, these early results suggest the potential benefits of digital healthcare innovations in chronic disease management and provide an argument for the broader integration of virtual care strategies in healthcare systems. These initial findings could lay the groundwork for further research into effectively integrating digital healthcare in chronic disease management.

Benjamin A. Fritz (2023) conducted a cohort in Chronic kidney disease (CKD) (n=37). Reset Kidney Health virtual care model was evaluated on Stabilization or improvement in estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR). Management with the Reset Kidney Health virtual care model resulted in 84% of patients with stage 3 or 4 chronic kidney disease experiencing stabilization or improvement in their estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate.
