  • Title: Management of co-morbid diseases in a patient with established renal failure.
    Author: Chamney M, Pugh-Clarke K, Kafkia T.
    Journal: J Ren Care; 2009 Sep; 35(3):151-8. PubMed ID: 19689698.
    Abstract:
    This follows on from an article relating to chronic kidney disease (CKD) and co-morbidities. Not only do these co-morbid diseases cause problems to patients with CKD, they continue to impact upon them when they develop established renal failure (ERF). Various co-morbid conditions can affect the patient including diabetes, hypertension, anaemia and cardiovascular issues. As nephrology nurses we play a fundamental role in patient education, monitoring and management of these factors.
