Palliative care has become increasingly important across the
spectrum of healthcare, and with it, the need for education and
training of a broad range of medical practitioners not previously
associated with this field of care. As part of the Integrating
Palliative Care series, this volume on palliative care in
nephrology guides readers through the core palliative knowledge and
skills needed to deliver high value, high quality care for
seriously ill patients with chronic and end-stage kidney disease.
Chapters are written by a team of international leaders in kidney
palliative care and are organized into sections exploring unmet
supportive care needs, palliative care capacity, patient-centered
care, enhanced support at the end of life, and more. Chapter topics
are based on the Coalition for Supportive Care of Kidney Patients
Pathways Project change package of 14 evidence-based best practices
to improve the delivery of palliative care to patients with kidney
disease. An overview of the future of palliative care nephrology
with attention to needed policy changes rounds out the text.
Palliative Care in Nephrology is an ideal resource for
nephrologists, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants,
social workers, primary care clinicians, and other practitioners
who wish to learn more about integrating individualized,
patient-centered palliative care into treatment of their patients
with kidney disease.
