Pain is one of the most prevalent and problematic somatic symptoms in patients with kidney disease that contributes to poor quality of life. Medication options are limited by declining kidney function. This module is designed to equip clinicians with the tools needed to adequately address pain management in patients with chronic kidney disease using a holistic approach.
