Rehabilitation in the renal population: barriers to access

Abstract:
Administrative data suggest familiar socioeconomic, race, sex, and age disparities in renal patients' receipt of services such as cardiac rehabilitation. Dialysis facility characteristics and disparities in access to transplantation, home-based dialysis, and more frequent dialysis also may influence patients' access to rehabilitation opportunities. Tested models exist for interdisciplinary inpatient rehabilitation, exercise/physical conditioning programs, and psychosocial interventions, and several of these programs consider the special needs of particular age groups. Recognition of the importance of physical activity/exercise and depressed mood as predictors of patient outcomes, and research addressing the concept of frailty, effectively may increase the salience of rehabilitation objectives throughout the renal community.

Specialized Care Centers and Settings-II
Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...

Factors Affecting Renal Clearance: Renal Impairment
One condition associated with renal failure is uremia. Uremia is characterized by impaired glomerular filtration and fluid accumulation in the body. This condition hinders the renal clearance of drugs, resulting in drug accumulation and potential...

Dialysis
Acute kidney injury develops suddenly and can be caused by pre-renal causes (e.g., hypovolemia, shock), intrinsic renal causes (e.g., acute tubular necrosis), or post-renal causes (e.g., urinary obstruction). In contrast, chronic renal failure progresses gradually over time and is often...
