Abstract
ACRF patients rejected for RRT receiving domiciliary follow-up by palliative care teams had an average survival of 4 months; age and residual renal function were predictive factors for survival, whereas comorbidity, electrolyte levels, BP and diuresis were not. During follow-up, the most frequent cause of hospital admission was fluid overload. Most patients died because of disease progression, at home or in a palliative care medium-long term hospital ward.
