Abstract
Introduction: Nephrology may have quite a lot in common with with palliative care. Examples of this are the conservative therapy of a terminal chronic kidney disease or dialysis termination. Nevertheless, palliative co-care of patients with chronic kidney disease still happens rather rarely. On the one hand, this might be due to lacking experience regarding the benefits and opportunities of incorporating palliative care in nephrology care, on the other hand, palliative care is often misunderstood as pure "end-of-life" care. By highlighting the whole spectrum of palliative care, we aim to promote these two disciplines in order to integrate palliative care services into the nephrological treatment concept at an early stage.
