Chronic Kidney Disease Nursing Care Plan

Also known as hypervolemia, fluid overload happens when too much fluid is in one's body. Patients with kidney conditions often experience this.

Primary care physicians evaluate patients initially. If kidney disease or abnormalities are confirmed, patients are referred to nephrologists for further assessment and specialized care.

Taking care of the kidneys involves maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including staying hydrated, eating a balanced diet low in salt and processed foods, exercising regularly, avoiding smoking, and managing conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure.
