Nephrology nurses have a pivotal role in the multidisciplinary assessment and management of symptoms experienced by people receiving dialysis. In December 2023, KDIGO held a workshop to collaboratively develop and recommend processes for articulating the important role of nurses in capturing and managing dialysis-associated symptoms. This webinar will discuss the symptoms patients on dialysis experience, the role of the nurse in symptom management, and the patient experience.

Learning objectives:

• Discuss the role of the nurse in symptom management
• Consider the dialysis experience from the patient’s perspective
• Review how to assess the symptoms of people receiving dialysis

This webinar was moderated by Zehra Aydin, MD (Turkey), with speakers Manfred Hecking, MD (Austria), Madeleine Warren (United Kingdom), and Paul Bennett (Australia). The webinar was recorded on November 19, 2024.
