Course of chronic kidney disease in French patients
Journal Title: Clinical Kidney Journal - Year 2017, Vol 10, Issue 1
Abstract
In 1998, a French survey showed that the referral of patients with chronic kidney disease to a nephrologist was delayed, resulting in many emergency initiations of dialysis. In 2009, the ORACLE study aimed to describe the renal course of dialysis patients from their first nephrology visit to their first dialysis session.
