Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) should be active in their care but often are not. Many patients have their dialysis choices made for them, limiting their participation in treatment decisions.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Patient-centered care

Background:

  • End-stage renal disease (ESRD) necessitates significant patient involvement in treatment decisions.
  • Optimal patient participation requires adequate information on medical conditions and treatment options.
  • Current practices often result in patients being passive recipients of care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the discrepancy between the ideal of active patient participation in renal care and the reality of patient involvement in treatment decisions.
  • To underscore the importance of informed decision-making for patients with ESRD.

Main Methods:

  • Review of literature and patient care models in nephrology.
  • Analysis of patient engagement in treatment selection for end-stage renal disease.

Main Results:

  • A significant majority of patients (65% in one study) had their dialysis modality selected by others, not chosen by them.
  • This indicates a low level of patient involvement in critical treatment decisions.

Conclusions:

  • There is a critical gap in patient engagement for individuals with end-stage renal disease.
  • Enhancing patient information and shared decision-making is crucial for active participation in renal care.
  • Current approaches often fail to empower patients in choosing their dialysis treatments.
