Nephrology and intervention in the community - On the need for improving the interplay between nephrology centers and primary care in Portugal
Chronic kidney disease is increasing in prevalence, especially among older people. The development of integrated strategies between primary health care and hospital care is crucial to curb the growth of this pathology, already considered a public health problem. Telemedicine approaches the different levels of care and creates a great confidence in managing CKD in the community, with a beneficial and real patient-centered care. Other strategies that lead to empowerment of the primary care medical doctors should also be considered. This manuscript summarizes some of these aspects and lists the benefits of its implementation in Portugal.
