Abstract
The aim of this paper is to provide a concise guide to successful management in catastrophic situations in patients with chronic kidney disease while referencing the latest evidence and recommendations. A search of the literature was conducted using the MEDLINE and Web of Science databases, using combinations of keywords “chronic kidney disease”, “catastrophic situation” and “management of catastrophes.” The relevant original research papers and current international society guidelines were analysed in order to extract relevant recommendations and practice modifications optimal for the reduction of this unexpected situation. Regardless of aetiology and type of catastrophic situation, there are certain interventions proven to reduce the problem and improve both the patients’ quality of life and the efficiency of healthcare system resource utilization.
