Kidney supportive care for advanced chronic and end-stage kidney disease: a retrospective cohort study J. Nephrol. (IF 3.4) Pub Date : 2024-03-06
Abstract Background Kidney supportive care is an interdisciplinary model of person-centred medicine, suitable for patients with advanced Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and with End-Stage Kidney Disease (ESKD). There is little information on routine care, and palliative care remains poorly integrated into standard nephrology care. The aim of this study was to describe our experience in integrating a palliative

Abstract The number of patients aged > 75-years treated by dialysis continues to increase, particularly in developed countries. Haemodialysis is a well-established treatment with national and international clinical guidelines designed to provide patients with optimal treatment. However, these were developed when the dialysis population was younger, and less co-morbid. This change in patient demographics

Kidney transplant recipients require lifelong immunosuppression to prevent graft rejection. However, immunosuppression is associated with adverse effects. A minority of kidney transplant recipients can be weaned off immunosuppression and maintain their graft function, a situation referred to as “functional or operational tolerance”. We describe a case of a 70-year-old man who received a haploidentical
