Improving quality of life for patients with kidney failure
RN Magazine, 05/05/08
Martchev D - More than 375,000 Americans are being treated for kidney failure, also known as end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or Stage 5 chronic kidney disease. Usually, these patients are treated at chronic dialysis centers by dialysis technicians supervised by an RN certified in dialysis management.
