When Should I Choose Palliative Or Hospice For Advanced CKD? - Chronic Kidney Support
When Should I Choose Palliative Or Hospice For Advanced CKD? Are you wondering when to consider palliative or hospice care for advanced chronic kidney disease? In this informative video, we'll explain everything you need to know about these important care options. We'll start by defining what palliative care is and how it can be introduced at any stage of kidney disease, even when treatments like dialysis are ongoing. You'll learn how palliative care focuses on managing symptoms such as pain, fatigue, and itching, while also providing emotional and spiritual support for both patients and their families. We will also discuss hospice care, which is typically considered when health is nearing the end of life, usually within six months. Hospice shifts the focus from curative treatments to comfort and quality of life, offering support in various settings such as home, nursing facilities, or dedicated centers. The video explains how choosing between palliative and hospice care depends on individual health status, personal wishes, and treatment goals. Additionally, we'll cover the importance of support services for caregivers, including respite care options that give family members a much-needed break.
