Patients undergoing long-term dialysis report a high burden of symptoms and patients place a high priority on symptom relief. Yet, most symptoms are not recognized by healthcare practitioners and when recognized, are not treated adequately. The KDIGO Controversies Conference on Symptom-Based Complications addressed range of approaches to elicit symptoms, how to prioritize symptoms targeted for relief, shared decision-making to select non-pharmacologic or pharmacologic treatment, and the need for structural changes in care delivery to improve health outcomes
Learning objectives:
- To understand the burden and consequences of symptoms experienced by patients undergoing long-term dialysis
- To learn how to engage in shared decision-making to select the treatment approach for symptom relief
- To understand the structural changes in healthcare delivery needed to mitigate symptom burden experienced by patients
