Abstract
- Chronic kidney disease (CKD) usually goes unrecognized for patients until late symptomatic stages. In preterminal CKD, extrarenal substitution methods are usually presented to patients. This is felt like a breakdown, implying major modifications of everyday life. Acquisition of health literacy is necessary for patients with CKD to become autonomous and increase their empowerment toward the disease. Therapeutic education in nephrology plays a major role in improving the care of CKD patients.<br />Competing Interests: Les auteurs n’ont déclaré aucun conflit d’intérêts en relation avec cet article.
