Abstract
Pain is a significant problem for a substantial number of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients which often goes unrecognized. The World Health Organization analgesic ladder and basic pharmacological principles can be used as a template for the assessment and treatment of pain in CKD patients. This review examines pain management principles for patients with CKD.
