Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Endocrinology
  • Nursing

Background:

  • Diabetic nephropathy is the primary cause of established renal failure (ERF) in the USA and Europe.
  • Diabetes mellitus affects a significant portion of the adult population, with projections indicating a doubling of cases worldwide by 2025.
  • Renal units must prepare for an increasing demand for renal replacement therapy (RRT) due to diabetes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss how renal nurses can enhance their skills and knowledge to effectively manage patients with diabetic nephropathy.
  • To explore innovative roles and work strategies for renal nurses in caring for patients with ERF and diabetes-related complications.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and synthesis of current practices in renal nursing for diabetic patients.
  • Discussion of potential new roles and innovative approaches for renal nurses.

Main Results:

  • Renal nurses' primary role is to delay the progression of diabetic nephropathy to ERF.
  • Focusing on patients with ERF and co-existing diabetes-related pathologies is essential.
  • Expanding nursing skills and exploring new work models are key to effective care.

Conclusions:

  • Renal nurses are vital in managing the growing population of diabetic patients with kidney disease.
  • Innovative roles and expanded skill sets for nurses can improve patient outcomes and delay ERF progression.
