Moving away from silos in healthcare, interdisciplinary collaboration has become the standard for optimizing malnutrition outcomes in all affected population groups. Despite this, there has not been any documented coordinated involvement by nephrology social workers with renal dietitians, to address psychosocial factors known to adversely affect dialysis patients’ nutritional status. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of evidence on ways the integrated involvement of nephrology social workers, targeting depression and cognitive impairment can help to mitigate their adverse effects, and enable renal dietitians to be more effective in their nutritional management of patients.
