Abstract

Conservative management is customized CKD care, symptom management, and support to navigate care across the CKD trajectory through end of life. Conservative management is defined by shared decision-making and interdisciplinary teamwork in alliance with patients and care partners. Implementation of conservative management hinges on each practice's logistical considerations and resource availability.
