Study published in the National Kidney Foundation’s American Journal of Kidney Diseases
May 25 2021 — Kidney patients need better, more relevant education to best participate in the decision-making about their treatment, a new study published in the National Kidney Foundation’s (NKF) American Journal of Kidney Diseases (AJKD) shows.
Titled “Patient Education for Kidney Failure Treatment: A Mixed-methods Study,” investigators, some of whom are NKF staff, reviewed current patient education classes in four major U.S. cities, interviewed session leaders, and reviewed presentations and found that critical information patients need to make treatment decisions was missing in some of the sessions.
