“…The prevailing consensus suggests that individuals with advanced CKD face a higher risk of falling. [19][20][21] The exact reasons will be detailed in subsequent sections. Also, the elderly group is at high risk, which may be related to their weaker physical functioning.…”

Background: Nephrology nursing faces an inevitable challenge when it comes to falls. This study aims to review existing literature on falls in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients and to discuss potential solutions. Methods: This review explores the characteristics and causes of falls in CKD patients, elucidate the underlying mechanisms, shares better nursing practices, and discusses both current prevention strategies as well as potential future interventions. Results: CKD patients often experience consciousness impairment and motor dysfunction due to factors such as muscle atrophy, nerve damage, malnutrition, anemia, fluid-electrolyte imbalances, hormonal disorders, and dialysis. Additionally, this study not only shares insights from nursing experience with these patients, but also reviews current evidence-based fall prevention strategies and proposes potential new interventions that could be tested in future research. Conclusion: CKD may increase the risk of involuntary falls in patients due to consciousness impairment and motor dysfunction. Advocating for a standardized expert consensus on fall risk assessment and comprehensive care for CKD patients would enhance the nursing framework in nephrology wards and help patients decrease their fall risk and elevate their quality of life.
