RESUMO

Although loss, disability, and death are constant possibilities for any end-stage renal disease patient, very few have planned for the last of life. Currently available Advance Directives (ADs) are refusal of specific therapies in only specific but nebulous circumstances. They fail to provide positive guidance for a patient's remaining time. Without addressing goals, quality of life, reversibility of medical problems, and desired end-of-life (EOL) care, such ADs are useless. End-stage renal disease providers are generally untrained and unsupported in offering guidance. Financial, emotional, and structural factors collude to justify ignoring EOL planning. Several alternative ADs are offered, along with a goal-directed approach to EOL counseling for patients and staff.

RESUMO

We seldom consider the terms "grieving" or "bereavement" until faced with an empty dialysis chair. But loss (bereavement) and the process we go through to heal from that loss (grieving) begin with a patient's first puff of edema or abnormal creatinine, and continue throughout the course of an illness. By recognizing the symptoms and developing the tools to deal with loss, we will enrich the value of our practice for ourselves and those with whom we work.

RESUMO

In the next installment of this series, I'll suggest how we might proceed once we've acknowledged that death may be the next appropriate treatment. Did God just invent death and dying on a bad hair day--kind of a final "Take that!"? Or, is the last of life as rich in promise and purpose as the birth with which it began?
