Abstract:
This article describes observations and findings related to home dialysis therapy. Dialyzing at home provides many benefits, giving patients more flexibility and autonomy. Ensuring proper education and training, and home adaptation is critical for patient safety. Survey findings related to group training, home visits, medical records, and the use of patient care technicians in home dialysis are reviewed. Implications for nephrology nursing in each scenario are discussed, including survey guidance for transitional care 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...

Proximal Convoluted Tubule (PCT):
The PCT is the initial segment of the renal tubule, extending from the Bowman's capsule that encloses the glomerulus. Its convoluted structure and microvilli-lined cells increase the surface area for reabsorption. The PCT reabsorbs glucose, amino acids, sodium, and water from the filtrate, ensuring essential...
