The Case for Palliative Care in Kidney Care, a new publication from the NKF and the Center to Advance Palliative Care (CAPC), emphasizes the critical need to integrate palliative care services into the treatment of patients with advanced kidney disease. The publication calls on nephrology practices, dialysis centers, and health systems to strengthen their palliative care capabilities through clinician training, collaboration with specialty teams, and systemic changes that prioritize patient-centered outcomes, and details resources to help meet this goal.
