Children on Long-Term Dialysis in the United States: Findings From the 2005 ESRD Clinical Performance Measures Project

A significant number of children had hemoglobin, serum albumin, and/or Kt/V values outside the recommended targets. Future research is needed to better define the risk relationships of these predictors with morbidity and mortality in children on dialysis therapy, evaluate the benefit of treating to certain treatment targets, and understand reasons for failing to reach treatment targets in individual patients or patient groups.
