Perceptions of Palliative Care Among Patients With Kidney Allograft Dysfunction: A Qualitative Study
Patients with declining kidney allografts have heterogeneous, unmet palliative care needs, including emotional symptoms and a desire for better prognostic awareness. Our results suggest that patients are largely unaware of palliative care and may benefit from practice models in which transplant teams integrate palliative care education and timely palliative care engagement.
