How Is Hospice Care Different From Palliative Care For CKD? - Chronic Kidney Support

How Is Hospice Care Different From Palliative Care For CKD? Have you ever wondered how different types of care can support someone with chronic kidney disease at various stages? In this informative video, we'll explain the differences between hospice and palliative care and how they help improve quality of life for individuals with CKD. We'll start by defining what palliative care is and how it can begin right after diagnosis, helping manage symptoms like pain, fatigue, and emotional stress while patients continue treatments such as dialysis or transplants. We'll also discuss how palliative care teams work closely with patients, families, and medical providers to address physical, emotional, and spiritual needs, offering flexible support as conditions change. Next, we'll cover hospice care, which is designed for the final stages of CKD when a patient’s prognosis is around six months or less. Hospice focuses solely on comfort and symptom relief, often stopping treatments aimed at curing the disease, including dialysis. We'll explain how hospice provides a peaceful environment, whether at home or in a facility, and offers additional support for families through counseling, spiritual care, and assistance with daily activities. Whether you're seeking information for yourself or a loved one, understanding the difference between these types of care can help you make informed decisions about treatment options.
