Abstract
Transitions in levels of health offer important opportunities to affect patient outcomes. The transition from CKD to ESRD and dialysis dependence is costly in personal, social, and economic terms. This paper reviews these costs and offers resources that can be used by physicians and medical teams to help patients and their families weather the challenges of this process.
