title = "The ABCs of Kidney Disease: Knowledge Retention and Healthcare Involvement",
abstract = "Low health literacy in the chronic kidney disease population results in lower rates of pre-dialysis preparation and understanding of management to slow progression. The ABCs of Kidney Disease education class provided education in a more consistent manner outside of routine office visits. We aimed to study whether a structured education program would increase kidney disease-specific knowledge and healthcare involvement. Knowledge retention at least 6 months after the class assessed by the Kidney Disease Knowledge Surveys (KiKS) and healthcare involvement based on surveys sent to referring providers were found to have increased. Incorporation of a structured education program would be important for providers to improve long-term knowledge and lead to greater healthcare involvement. Providing an education class outside of the routine office visits will provide a greater impact on health literacy.",
