Abstract
Patients with kidney disease may need palliative
or supportive care. Although care should be
based on needs and not on prognosis, it is nevertheless
important to consider palliative needs
in the context of the number of weeks, months,
or years that remain. The issues that need to be
addressed only weeks from death are often very
different—and more urgent—than those to be
addressed if there are years ahead. A comprehensive
overview of evidence on survival
allows the context of care to be understood.
