Summary
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects 850 million globally. A novel care model integrating technology and multidisciplinary teams offers improved outcomes and reduced infectious disease exposure for CKD patients.
Area of Science:
- Nephrology and Public Health
- Healthcare Systems Analysis
- Medical Technology Integration
Background:
- Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects an estimated 850 million people worldwide, posing significant health threats.
- Existing CKD care systems' optimal effectiveness for patient prognosis remains unclear.
- Global disparities exist in understanding CKD causes, prevention, resources, and care burdens.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the burden, existing care models, effectiveness, challenges, and developments in CKD care.
- To identify gaps in current CKD understanding and care.
- To propose a novel, technology-integrated CKD care structure.
Main Methods:
- Literature review and synthesis of existing CKD care models and challenges.
- Analysis of the potential benefits of multidisciplinary team care versus single-specialist care.
- Conceptualization of a new care framework incorporating modern technologies.
Main Results:
- Multidisciplinary team care demonstrates potential for comprehensive and improved patient outcomes.
- Significant gaps persist in CKD knowledge, prevention strategies, and resource allocation globally.
- A novel care structure integrating technology (biosensors, AI, mobile health) is proposed.
Conclusions:
- Rethinking future CKD care models is essential for health equality and sustainability.
- Integrating advanced technologies can optimize the CKD care process and reduce patient vulnerability.
- The proposed novel care structure offers a pathway to more effective and equitable CKD management.

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...

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...

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...

Postoperative Nursing Management for Kidney Transplant PatientsPostoperative nursing management care includes monitoring the surgical site, encouraging early movement, and promoting lung health through breathing exercises. Nurses also administer prescribed medications like H2-blockers, such as famotidine, or proton pump inhibitors, like omeprazole, to help prevent gastrointestinal ulcers and bleeding. Fungal infections in the mouth and bladder can result from immunosuppressive and antibiotic...
