Overview
Renal nursing is a specialized field of nursing focused on the care of patients with kidney and urinary-tract disorders. Renal nurses care for people with conditions such as chronic kidney disease, acute kidney injury, and kidney failure, providing services including patient assessment and monitoring, management of dialysis, support for kidney transplantation, medication and fluid management, and education for patients and families. Their work helps patients manage complex, often long-term conditions, maintain quality of life, and adhere to treatment regimens that are central to kidney care. Within Clinical and Practical Nursing, renal nursing draws on broader nursing knowledge and practice, including patient education, the management of chronic illness, and the multidisciplinary coordination of care. Research in this subject area addresses nursing knowledge, attitudes, and practices that shape patient care across specialties. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to renal nursing and the care of patients with kidney and urinary-tract disorders.
