Setting dialysis start at 6.0 ml/min/1.73 m2 eGFR—a study on safety, quality of life and economic impact
Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 06/17/09

Micco LD et al. - This is the first study evaluating the economic impact of intensive conservative management of CKD stage 5 to postpone start of dialysis in tertiary care. This strategy allows us to safely gain a significant amount of time free from dialysis, with good QoL and major savings in the costs of nation's dialysis budget. The present results, however, are applicable only to low comorbidity patients referred to nephrology care and may not be generalized to all patients starting RRT.
