Abstract
The multidimensional view of the disease is fundamental in the care of complex diseases such as chronic kidney disease (CKD). It is appropriate to define and unify concepts that allow the different professionals involved in care to provide multidisciplinary care tailored to the needs of each individual.
Given the increasing incidence of CKD worldwide and the fact that the disease may progress at different rates, there is a need to establish personalized, comprehensive approaches for each patient and their families at an earlier stage. This approach goes beyond the simple control of uremic symptoms or congestion and consists of addressing not only symptomatic but also functional, social and coping problems at an early stage, facilitating decision making both in the CKD and in acute settings, potentially irreversible situations or interventions that do not improve life expectancy.
To ensure excellence in care, it is important to assess indicators of palliative care and renal support, such as the presence of advance and shared care planning, the inclusion of psychosocial, ethical, spiritual and bereavement care. This enables the provision of comprehensive, humanized, and high-quality care for patients and their families.
Palliative and renal care is not just about patients in the last days of life. Defining, unifying, and evaluating the concepts will allow them to be applied in a timely manner at each specific moment of the CKD trajectory.
