The Shared Decision-Making-Renal Supportive Care intervention elicited dialysis patient preferences for end-of-life care. The HIGHWay project updated this intervention to scale it for broader implementation of advance care planning.

This episode discusses a study that measured objective nocturnal sleep duration of patients on hemodialysis and characterized natural and dialysis-imposed patterns of sleep duration using a commercially available wearable activity tracker.

Data from nearly 16,000 French peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients were analyzed in this large observational study, to understand factors influencing transfers to hemodialysis for different reasons.

This episode focuses on a study that looks at how confidence in managing daily challenges (self-efficacy) and having support from others (social support), affect the overall well-being of people on hemodialysis and hemodiafiltration.

This study examined the living kidney donor evaluation process to determine the point sex imbalance arises. There were 1,861 self-referrals, resulting in 146 approvals and 125 donations . Female overrepresentation stems from a higher self-referral rate.
