摘要
The role of palliative care is to recognize patients with advanced illnesses who are at risk for poor outcomes and to alleviate their pain and suffering. Patients with both kidney and liver disease are a very vulnerable population due to the unique pathophysiologic relationship these two organs share, which often leads to an abbreviated life expectancy and a significant symptom burden. These patients face many challenges in their care. This article discusses the importance of prognostication for early palliative care referrals as well as the management of the two most common complaints patients with kidney and liver disease face: pain and ascites.
