Discharge planning is always important. The considerations must take into account the level of kidney function. The more significant the kidney disease the more detailed follow up is needed. Generally speaking though, discharge planning should incorporate evaluations of medications, diet, lab and clinical follow up with the nephrologist in a timely manner.
