adequate dialysis treatment‚ proper nutrition‚ and use of arterial venous fistula (AVF) in place of HD catheters are associated with patients’ decreased mortality rate among end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on hemodialysis (HD). Improving overall health of ESRD patients is largely dependent on individual patients themselves‚ but as nurses it is our responsibility to promote and educate patients to take charge of their own life.
