The care of the nephrological patient, including renal function replacement techniques, has made significant advances in recent years, both in terms of renal transplantation and the health care of the nephrological patient, requiring specialized and continuous training for nurses. Such specialized training is rarely found in standard curricular training, so many nurses are unaware of important aspects of caring for these patients. Training in this area is necessary to guarantee a minimum quality of care.
