Abstract:
A relative decline in the use of peritoneal dialysis (PD) as a treatment modality has led to much speculation regarding the reasons for the drop. One main concern focuses on the lack of education and training in dialysis options for nephrologists, nurses, and patients. To change the trend and improve clinical outcomes for dialysis patients, the industry is taking a leading role in educating health care professionals and patients about dialysis options. Fresenius Medical Care offers two complementary educational initiatives for physicians, nurses, and patients: PDServe and Kidney Options.
