  Renal social workers serve as a support system for patients and their family in adjusting to and understanding end stage renal disease (ESRD). Having ESRD is understandably challenging and overwhelming. Social worker is the advocate, and serves as a bridge in communicating patients’ needs to the treatment team members, which consist of the nephrologist, nurses, dietitian, social worker and, of course, the most important person, patient. Identify and remove barriers to patients by providing a broad range of social and family supports, connecting people with programs and services to help meet their basic needs, and work with individuals to solve relationship problems and enhance their overall social well being.
