Abstract EN
People with intellectual disabilities are among the most disadvantaged groups in society.
Here we report a mentally incompetent end stage renal failure (ESRF) patient with frequent emergency visits who made a significant improvement in symptoms control and reduction in casualty visits after introduction of renal palliative care service.
Multidisciplinary approach would be useful in this case.
