Development of a 'Phosphate Counting Program'

After developing and pilot testing the iTouch phosphate counting program, the participants in the intervention arm will enter their meal into the program; the required number of phosphate binders will be calculated for the patient

The patients randomized to the usual care arm will continue to receive the usual dietary counselling and will input meal data into the iTouch program but no recommendations for the number of phosphate binders to be taken with the meal will be provided
