Abstract

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the inability of the kidneys to eliminate toxic substances and maintain hydroelectrolyte balance. The CKD patient experiences great difficulties during dialysis, specifically hemodialysis. During the treatment period he faces an avalanche of changes in his life, psychological, physically, family and social. The purpose of this study is to know the complications suffered by the chronic renal patient submitted to dialytic therapy and the interventions of the nurse in the care and education of this client. The method used is a study in Portuguese, of exploratory nature, with research in the Scielo database, in books in the area of nephrology, as well as electronic research on the internet. The literature shows that patients with CKD have difficulty in dialytic treatment, such as a lack of knowledge of the disease and its symptoms, lack of treatment, and a reflex in the family, psychological and social environment. Such difficulties can change with the intervention of the nurse because he is a closer and constant professional of this patient, through educational measures to the patient and family.
