Residual Kidney Function Decline and Mortality in Incident Hemodialysis Patients

This study  examined the association of annual change in renal CLurea rate with subsequent survival. The median (interquartile range) baseline value and mean±SD annual change of CLurea were 3.3 (1.9–5.0) and −1.1±2.8 ml/min per 1.73 m2, respectively. Greater CLurea rate 1 year after hemodialysis initiation associated with better survival. Further study needs to be done to determine the clinical benefits of RKF preservation strategies on mortality should be de : Early Start of Hemodialysis May Be Harmful Long-term Effects of Frequent Nocturnal Hemodialysis on Mortality: The Frequent Hemodialysis Network (FHN) Nocturnal Trial Propensity-Matched Mortality Comparison of Incident Hemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis Patients
