Sat-296 Nephrology and Palliative Care Collaboration in the Care of Hospitalized Patients With Advanced Kidney Disease: Utilization and Outcomes
Year: 2020
Type: conference-abstract
Abstract: Advanced kidney disease (AKD) (eGFR <15 ml/min) is a complex illness associated with high morbidity and mortality. Palliative care (PC) emphasizes the management of symptoms along with discussions with patients and their families regarding prognosis in order to help clarify their goals in managing their illness. Despite the evidence of improved outcomes for patients with AKD receiving PC, the use of PC for patients has been limited, possibly due to limited access of patients to PC services and the lack of resources available to the renal care providers to seek appropriate PC consultation (PCC).
