Summary
This scoping review protocol outlines a comprehensive overview of shared decision-making (SDM) interventions for advanced kidney disease (AKD) patients. It addresses the lack of research on SDM use and outcomes to improve treatment modality decisions.
Area of Science:
- Nephrology
- Health Services Research
- Decision Science
Background:
- Patients with advanced kidney disease (AKD) face complex treatment modality decisions.
- International guidelines recommend shared decision-making (SDM) to align choices with patient values.
- A knowledge gap exists regarding SDM interventions, their use, and outcomes in AKD.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a scoping review of SDM interventions for treatment modality decisions in AKD.
- To provide a comprehensive overview of existing literature on SDM in this patient population.
- To identify research gaps and inform clinical practice and future research.
Main Methods:
- Adherence to Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology for scoping reviews.
- Inclusion of qualitative, quantitative, and grey literature in English.
- Two independent reviewers performing literature screening, selection, and data extraction with consensus resolution.
Main Results:
- This section will present findings after the review is completed.
- Results will include descriptive statistics and narrative summaries.
- Diagrammatic or tabular displays will illustrate findings.
Conclusions:
- This scoping review will synthesize current evidence on SDM interventions for AKD.
- Findings will highlight areas for improving SDM implementation in clinical practice.
- The review aims to guide future research and enhance patient-centered care in nephrology.

278
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires collaborative and comprehensive management. CKD progresses through stages and can lead to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) if untreated. Interprofessional collaboration and patient education are crucial, enabling patients to manage their health and improve their quality of life.Diagnostic approach for chronic kidney diseaseThe diagnosis of CKD primarily focuses on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which assesses kidney function by measuring how well...

Nursing management is essential for preventing complications, maintaining stability, and improving patients' quality of life in chronic kidney disease (CKD). By using a structured approach, nurses help slow CKD progression and support effective patient care.1. Comprehensive patient assessmentEffective management begins with nurses reviewing the patient’s medical history, and identifying key risk factors like diabetes, hypertension, and nephrotoxic drug use. Nurses assess signs of...

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) requires a collaborative healthcare approach to restore renal function and prevent complications. Essential management strategies involve monitoring fluid and electrolyte balance, adjusting medications, initiating dialysis when necessary, and providing nutritional support.Fluid and Electrolyte ManagementFluid Monitoring: Regularly monitoring body weight, central venous pressure, and urine output helps detect fluid imbalances early. Patient intake and output are...

Preoperative ManagementThe primary goals of preoperative management in kidney transplantation are to optimize the patient’s metabolic state and prepare them for surgery through diet adjustments, necessary dialysis, and tailored medical treatment. This phase also involves comprehensive infection screening and patient education about the surgical procedure and postoperative care to improve outcomes and adherence.Medical ManagementA comprehensive evaluation is required for both the living...

01:25Chronic Kidney Disease I: Introduction
487
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) arises when the kidneys progressively lose their ability to function, ultimately leading to end-stage renal disease. At this advanced stage, the kidneys can no longer filter waste or maintain essential body functions, requiring renal replacement therapy (RRT) through dialysis or a kidney transplant for survival.Early-stage chronic kidney disease and detection challengesIn CKD's early stages, symptoms often remain absent because healthy nephrons compensate for...

Accurate diagnosis and effective prevention are critical in managing Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), which is linked to high mortality rates ranging from 10% to 80%. Timely recognition of at-risk patients and careful monitoring can significantly reduce the likelihood of kidney damage.Diagnostic Assessments:The diagnostic process starts with a comprehensive medical history to identify prerenal, intrarenal, and postrenal causes.Prerenal causes, such as dehydration, hypotension, or blood loss, should...
