Context: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) disproportionately impacts lower socioeconomic groups and is associated with many symptoms and complex decisions. Integration of Kidney Supportive Care (KSC) with CKD care can address these needs. To our knowledge, this approach has not been described in an underserved population.

Article Synopsis
- * The study compared these electrodes to traditional Ag/AgCl reference electrodes, finding that while Ag/AgCl showed greater charge transfer resistance, the carbon/graphene electrodes maintained comparable sensitivity and performance when lactate oxidase was used in the setup.
- * Future investigations are necessary to address the reduction in electric current observed with human plasma, indicating potential issues with analyte detection sensitivity due to biological interferents.
Article Synopsis
- There's a growing population of older adults with kidney disease, but there's not enough evidence to help improve their clinical care, prompting the KDARC to conduct a study on research priorities in geriatric nephrology.
- The study used a modified Delphi approach involving clinicians and researchers in the US and Canada to gather and prioritize important research topics for better care of older adults with kidney issues.
- Five key research priorities were identified: improving communication about treatment options, enhancing quality of life and symptom management, addressing frailty, tailoring therapies for older adults, and providing caregiver support, all underlined by the importance of health equity and patient-centered care.
