Predicting life expectancy at end-stage If our patient is well looked after for the next 17 years, I will assume that he will not die before he reaches ESRD at the age of 36 (age 19 + 17 years at a GFR decline rate of 1.5 ml/min/1.73 m2/year). However, we now know that this...

OBJECTIVE Because of the increasing incidence and prevalence of diabetes as a leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in the aging population, we estimated the expected life-years (LYs) saved from successful prevention of ESRD in elderly patients with diabetes. ...
Not all ESRD patients may want dialysis: for some, freedom from the hassles of treatment is worth a shorter life expectancy, study finds.Frei, Rosemary
QOL is a particularly salient matter for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) treated with dialysis and at multiple levels in thekidney diseasehealthcare system. Because the ESRD population is expected to grow in the next decade, the demand for attention to QOL and symptom reduction8is...
This pattern often persists for years, if not decades, shaping a mindset around needing and receiving dialysis. As patients approach the end of life, they often experience less clinical benefit and more discomfort from dialysis.27 Nonetheless, even in end-stage disease, dialysis continues to ...
Does living donation affect life expectancy?Living donation does not change life expectancy, and does not appear to increase the risk of kidney failure. What is the downside of donating a kidney? Kidney donation is alow-risk procedure, but this does not mean that it is risk-free. While compl...
Secondary outcomes included doubling of the serum creatinine level, the need for dialysis, and changes in urine albumin. The main finding was that combined renin-angiotensin system blockade led to more adverse events without additional benefit and that either drug alone was equally effective in ...
Consistent with the DOPPS-based analyses, we extrapolated life-years gained for the MONITOR-CKD5 population over 5 years if all patients were within targets. Results Bringing the 10 MONITOR-CKD5 countries’ dialysis populations into compliance on the six practices results in a 5-year gain of ...
