Integrated protocol for the prevention and treatment of skin ulcers in patients with end-stage renal disease

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is an escalating global health concern, affecting more than 10 % of the general population worldwide, amounting to over 800 million individuals. One of its major complications for patients is the high prevalence of skin ulcers . This study aims to develop a protocol for...

description Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is an escalating global health concern, affecting more than 10 % of the general population worldwide, amounting to over 800 million individuals. One of its major complications for patients is the high prevalence of skin ulcers . This study aims to develop a protocol for ulcer management within the context of a hospital-based dialysis center. The success of this strategy is deeply rooted in the collaboration of a multidisciplinary team, continually enriched by specialist training. The clinical nurse specialist (CNS) in wound care plays a pivotal role in this approach. By employing a systematic methodology, the protocol is tailored to emphasize holistic care for patients diagnosed with end-stage renal disease undergoing hemodialysis. It accentuates the significance of proactive prevention, in-depth patient education, and the immediate identification of early wound signs. The research underscores the necessity to further weave in specialized training for ulcer care, ensuring each hospital visit is maximized for efficiency and effectiveness. Central to this protocol is the understanding that CKD is a growing concern, that the optimal management of ulcers relies heavily on multidisciplinary collaboration, and that an emphasis on prevention, patient education, and timely wound recognition is crucial to enhance patient care and experience.
