Getting the right patient on the right renal replacement therapy
Pérez-Fontán, Miguel; Rodríguez-Carmona, Ana; López-Muñiz, Andrés; García-Falcón, Teresa (Karger, 2012-05)[Abstract] Adequate selection of the modality of renal replacement therapy (RRT), ideally based on well-planned predialysis care, informed decision by the patient and timely initiation of dialysis, is essential to optimize ... -
