Renal Nursing
Renal Nursing is a specialised field of nursing that focuses on care for patients with kidney or urologic disorders. These nurses provide direct patient care, including assessment and monitoring, medical treatments and therapy as well as education to patients and families. Renal Nurses are experts in treating kidney disorders, including chronic kidney disease (CKD), kidney transplantation, dialysis, electrolyte and fluid disorders, and urologic conditions. Renal Nurses play an important role in improving patient outcomes and quality of life, as well as reducing risks associated with kidney and urologic related disorders. They provide support to patients, families and other healthcare providers in the prevention, diagnosis and management of kidney and urologic disorders. Additionally, Renal Nurses strive to advance their own knowledge and skills through continuing education and research.
