Abstract In this issue of ckj, Sever et al. (A roadmap for optimizing chronic kidney disease patient care and patient-oriented research in the Eastern European nephrology community. Clin Kidney J, this issue) present a roadmap for optimizing chronic kidney disease (CKD) patient care and patient-oriented research in Eastern Europe. The document clearly identifies current unmet needs and proposes corrective actions. Focusing on CKD epidemiology and outcomes, it collects evidence pointing to an East–West gradient for some key risk factors for CKD development. Thus, the prevalence of diabetes, raised blood pressure, obesity and tobacco use is higher in Eastern than in Western Europe. These risk factors may contribute to the higher CKD prevalence in Eastern Europe, which for the Eastern-most countries may be more than 2-fold higher than in Western Europe. The problem is compounded by the lower prevalence of dialysis and transplantation in Eastern Europe, especially in lower income countries. The combination of higher prevalence of CKD with lower prevalence of renal replacement therapy would be expected to result in higher CKD-associated mortality, but this is not the case. CKD-associated mortality may even be lower in the Eastern-most European countries than in Western Europe. The reasons for this discrepancy should be studied, since it may reveal serious additional healthcare issues, potentially related to high mortality from other non-communicable diseases (NCDs). If this is the case and the high mortality from other NCD is successfully addressed, pressure will further mount on renal replacement capacity needs in Eastern Europe.

ABSTRACT Objective: To reflect on the applicability of Orem Theory in chronic renal patient care. Methodology: reflective, based on the analysis and interpretation of articles and books, to enable understanding of the possibilities of application of the Theory of Self-care to patients with chronic kidney disease, with a view to deepening the theme. Results: The Theory of Self-care is an essential tool in the focus of care for this patient, since it allows to a better understanding of the pathology and the therapeutic process, better acceptance of their treatment and prevention of  complications. Conclusion: The nursing care associated with the theory allows to emphasize the commitment of the professional and the client, engaging in the self-care. Keywords: Chronic Renal Patient. Nursing Theory. Self Care. RESUMO Objetivo: Refletir sobre a aplicabilidade da Teoria de Orem na assistência ao paciente renal crônico. Metodologia: Estudo reflexivo, com base na análise e interpretação de artigos e livros, para possibilitar a compreensão acerca das possibilidades de aplicação da Teoria do Autocuidado ao paciente renal crônico, numa perspectiva de aprofundamento da temática. Resultados: A teoria do Autocuidado constitui ferramenta essencial no foco da assistência a esse paciente, uma vez que possibilita ao mesmo um melhor conhecimento sobre a patologia e o processo terapêutico, melhor aceitação de seu tratamento e prevenção de complicações. Conclusão: A assistência de enfermagem associada à teoria permite enfatizar o compromisso do profissional com o cliente, engajando- o no autocuidado. Descritores: Paciente Renal Crônico.

Metodología: reflexiva, basada en el análisis e interpretación de los artículos y libros, para permitir la comprensión de las posibilidades de aplicación de la Teoría de la Auto-atención a los pacientes con enfermedad renal crónica, con el fin de profundizar en el tema. Resultados: La teoría de autocuidado es una herramienta esencial en el foco de atención de este paciente, ya que permite una mejor comprensión de la patología y el proceso terapéutico, una mejor aceptación de su tratamiento y la prevención de las complicaciones. Conclusión: La atención de enfermería asociado con la teoría permite destacar el compromiso de los profesionales y el cliente, con la participación en el autocuidado. Descriptors: Paciente Renal Crónico. Teoría de Enfermería. Autocuidado.

International Initiative

KDIGO (Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes) is an international nonprofit organization devoted to “improve the care and outcomes of kidney disease patients worldwide through promoting coordination, collaboration, and integration of initiatives to develop and implement clinical practice guidelines.” The mineral and bone disorder (MBD) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been the first area of interest of KDIGO international initiative. KDIGO guidelines on CKD-MBD were published in 2009 with the intent to modify the previous KDOQI guidelines that had failed to consistently change the global outcome of CKD patients. After the publication of KDOQI guidelines for bone metabolism and disease in 2003, a large number of observational data emerged in literature linking disordered mineral metabolism with adverse clinical outcomes. Notwithstanding this large body of observational data, a paucity of evidence from high-quality clinical trials was available for the development of KDIGO guidelines. Herein, a summary will be provided of the most important findings of KDIGO guidelines regarding the diagnostic workup and clinical monitoring of CKD-MBD patients.
