Title: SodiUm Burden Lowered by Lifestyle Intervention: Self-Management and E-health Technology
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects and efficacy of dietary sodium restriction by mean of a new healthcare approach in patients with chronic kidney disease. The test persons in the intervention group are actively supported to adhere to a restricted sodium diet with a structured self-regulation program to implement sodium recommendations that are in current guidelines.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* Aged 19 years or more and 75 years or less
* Hypertension patients: Patients whose blood pressure is 140/90mmHg and over, patients is newly diagnosed with hypertension or is prescribed antihypertensive medications.
* Hypertensive patients verified 2 times or more of albuminuria 30 mg/g cr or more in a spot urine sample with interval of 1 week or more in recent 6 months
* Estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) by Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation 30 ml/min/1.73 m2 or more
* Patients who give written consent to this study by oneself

Exclusion Criteria:

* Blood pressure more than 160/100 mmHg
* Pregnant
* Serum potassium level more than 5.5 mEq/L at screening period
* Patients with malignancy, acute cerebral infarction, acute myocardial infarction, unstable angina, percutaneous coronary arterial intervention (PCI), or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) in recent 6 months
* Patients with diabetes mellitus
* Patients who have an allergy to Olmesartan
* Patients who were involved in other clinical trial in recent 1 month or are participated in screening period
* Patients taking medication(s) of corticosteroid or immunosuppressant in a screening period
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* In order to be eligible for the study, the individual must be 40 years of age or older
* Have a DRG Code of T2DM, GFR of 15-89 ml/min/1.73m2 and a BMI \>30 kg/m2.
* The participant's physician of record will have verified that his/her patient can safely participant in an intervention study that involves weight loss and a goal of 150 minutes/week of moderate physical activity comparable to brisk walking.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Investigators will exclude from participation those with the following characteristics:

  1. unable or unwilling to provide informed consent
  2. unable to participate meaningfully in an intervention that involves group sessions (e.g., due to uncorrected hearing impairment, non-English-speaking)
  3. unable to read or otherwise use an iPad to monitor dietary intake, physical activity, and weight (e.g., blind, illiterate)
  4. unwilling to accept randomization assignment
  5. pregnant, or plans to become pregnant in the next 12 months, less than 3 months postpartum, or nursing or within 6 weeks of having completed nursing
  6. weight loss of \> 10% in the past 6 months except for postpartum weight loss
  7. unable to walk 0.25 miles in 10 minutes
  8. a major psychiatric disorder
  9. planning gastric bypass surgery in the next 12 months
  10. individuals who are institutionalized (e.g., in a nursing home or personal care facility, or those who are incarcerated and have no control over their diet).
* Investigators will exclude from the study those with underlying diseases that would increase the risk of participating in an intervention involving caloric restriction and physical activity.
* Such individuals would include those requiring treatment for cancer, exclusive of skin cancer other than melanoma, in the past 2 years; infectious diseases including untreated AIDS and active tuberculosis; uncontrolled hypertension of \>190 mmHg SBP or \>105 mmHg DBP despite treatment; stroke or TIA in the past 6 months; conditions requiring the use of home oxygen; or other chronic disease or condition likely to limit life span to \< 1 year.
* Because of the dietary requirements of a pregnant woman, and the nature of weight loss and gain with pregnancy, inclusion of pregnant women in the study would confound the study results. Those who become pregnant during the study will be withdrawn from the study.
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* Age \> 18 years.
* CKD stage 3 or 4 (MDRD-GFR 15-60 ml/min)
* Use of any anti-hypertensive drugs
* No anti-hypertensive drugs but an average office systolic blood pressure \> 140 mmHg (as measured by datascope)

Exclusion Criteria:

* Salt-wasting CKD
* Nephrotic syndrome
* Pregnant or breastfeeding women
* Life expectancy \< 6 months
* Severe heart failure (NYHA III or IV) or liver cirrhosis with ascites and the inability to withdraw diuretics
* Rapidly declining kidney function with high likelihood of dialysis or kidney transplantation in the coming 4 months
* Kidney transplant recipients
* Use of immunosuppressive drugs
* Use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
* Previous intolerance or allergy to hydrochlorothiazide or amiloride
* Serum sodium \< 135 mmol/l
* Serum potassium \< 3.5 mmol/l or \> 5.0 mmol/l
* Inability to adhere to the study protocol (due to language, incapacitated subjects, subjects with intellectual disability)
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* Be 18 years or older.
* Have chronic kidney disease (CKD stage 1-3, CKD 4 if eGFR is not lower than 25 mL/min/1.73m2, or be a renal transplant recipient.)
* Have a urinary sodium excretion during at least the last 2 subsequent visits of more than 130 mmol per day, or one last urinary sodium excretion of more than 150 mmol per day.
* Have a systolic blood pressure higher than 135 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure higher than 85 mmHg or a well-controlled blood pressure by treatment with antihypertensives including RAAS-blockade (ACE-inhibitor or ARB).
* Sufficient command of the Dutch language.
* Access and ability to use the internet.
* Written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

* eGFR \< 25 ml/min/1.73m2 or an anticipated need for predialysis work-up within the time frame of the study.
* Unstable disease: defined as rapid, persistent, progressive renal function loss (e.g. \> 6 mL/min/1.73m2 per year), not from acute, intermittent origin.
* Blood pressure \> 170 mmHg systolic or \> 100 mmHg diastolic during medical treatment
* Blood pressure \< 95 mmHg systolic not responding to withdrawal of antihypertensives.
