Adolescence to Adult Care Transition

Adolescence to Adult Care Transition
Q: Can you describe what your experience during the transition phase was like?
I felt I should immediately transition to adult care but wasn't ready and ended up transitioning back to pediatric care until I got my transplant.
Vascular Access and Home Hemodialysis
Q: Jane and Joe, what gives you hope about the future of home hemo and the vascular access care?
They hope for more individualized training and support from home care nurses, as well as the development of technology that aids in home dialysis such as apps for ultrasounds.
Potassium and CKD
Q: Do all patients need a potassium-restricted diet?
No, potassium recommendations must be individualized; some patients may need to restrict potassium, while others may be able to consume normal amounts without issues.
Potassium and CKD

Foods high in potassium often come from processed sources, while natural foods like fruits and vegetables have lower bioavailability of potassium, making them safer options for CKD patients.
