Description of the Webinar

CKD patients have a high burden of physical and psychosocial symptoms, poor outcomes, and high costs of care. Current paradigms of care for this population are variable, prognostic and assessment tools limited, and quality of care suboptimal. The KDIGO Controversies Conference on Supportive Care in CKD synthesized the current state of knowledge in order to guide clinical and research activities focused on improving the outcomes of people living with advanced CKD. This presentation will review a conceptual approach to kidney palliative care and will review the key recommendations .
