Palliative care in end-stage renal failure
GM, 39, November, 2009
Little attention is given to palliative care for patients with non-cancer disease such as end-stage renal failure. Sometimes dialysis either cannot be started or needs to be stopped in elderly patients with multiple comorbidities. Palliative care for such people is advocated by guidelines, but many renal services do not have adequate palliative components.
