Chronic Kidney Disease: Stages 4 and 5 - Overview of Therapy Options (Module 3)

This presentation is designed to help all health care professionals who give care to patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and want to know more about late stage kidney disease and the treatment options for kidney failure. When patients have advanced CKD, they are faced with multiple decisions regarding their treatment options and lifestyle changes. It is common for them to be overwhelmed by the decisions they will need to make. This presentation will help health care professionals with patient education and preparation for kidney failure.

This module is part of series – Nursing Care of the Patient with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) in ANY Setting which have been designed to support the learning needs of nurses who care for patients with CKD. Given the magnitude of the population afflicted with CKD and the variety of settings in which these patients receive care, this series will benefit nurses caring for patients in many settings.
