Abstract:
Non-medical factors can have a positive or negative effect on health outcomes and equity. These social determinants of health can play a role in patients' risk of developing kidney failure, as well as their access to kidney transplantation and long-term allograft survival. Nephrology nurses have the opportunity to identify and address negative social determinants of health factors in their patients because they are often patients' first contact in the nephrology setting. The purpose of this article is to promote nephrology nurses' and other nephrology health care providers' understanding of social determinants of health factors, and the fundamental practices for addressing them among kidney transplant candidates and kidney transplant recipients.
