Disparities in Dialysis Modality Selection and Outcomes
Smooth transition from CKD stage 5 to renal replacement therapy (RRT) remains a challenge. This transition period bears a high risk for mortality (
Often dubbed an options clinic, this team-based approach needs to be conducted when RRT is anticipated within a year, sufficient time being allowed for access placement and transplant evaluation (
