Many patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease have unmet palliative care (PC) needs. Physical and emotional symptoms are common. Some, like uremia and fluid overload, improve with dialysis, but the increasing age of patients initiating renal replacement therapy leaves many untreatable comorbidities like dementia and frailty to negatively impact quality of life. Written by nephrologists and PC clinicians, this article will help PC providers to have a richer understanding of kidney disease-related symptom burden, disease trajectory, prognosis, and barriers to hospice enrollment for patients with CKD and end-stage renal disease.
