Unravelling current sexual care in chronic kidney disease: perspective of social workers
ConclusionThis study provides evidence that a part of Dutch nephrology social workers do not provide sexual care regularly, due to insufficient experience and sexual knowledge, absence of privacy and protocols and barriers based on cultural diversity. According to the respondents the responsibility for this aspect of care should be multidisciplinary. Recommendations include a need for further education on the topic, private opportunities to discuss SD and multidisciplinary guidelines on sexual care. (Source: Journal of Renal Care)

Continuing education: online monitoring of haemodialysis dose
ConclusionsThe best dose estimation method is the one which predicts the quality of life and survival most accurately. There is some evidence on the predictive value of ionic dialysance Kt, but more documentation is required on the UV method. Online monitoring is a useful tool in everyday quality assurance, but blood samples are still required for more accurate kinetic modelling.
Learning outcomesAfter reading this article the reader should be able to:
Understand the elements of the Kt/V equation for dialysis dose.
Compare and contrast different methods of measurement of dialysis dose.
Reflect on the importance of adequate...
