Abstract

Patients with cancer and kidney disease experience a range of symptoms that impact their quality of life. Pain, fatigue, decreased appetite, and depression are all common in this population. Kidney palliative care is patient-centered medical care focused on reducing symptoms and defining individualized goals of care for patients and their families. Pharmacologic management of pain in patients with cancer and kidney disease requires recognition of the type of pain, its cause, and the risks and benefits of different medication classes. This review describes basic symptom management options as well as considerations for discussing goals of care, prognosis, and end of life.
