The incidence of renal disease is increasing at alarming rates. Older adults with co-morbid conditions are at increased risk for end stage renal disease with the resulting need for renal replacement therapy. Nurses who care for the older adult must know how chronic kidney disease will affect the older adult and must be able to provide compassionate care at the end stage of life.
