Abstract

Many inner-city residents with progressive renal disease do not receive specialist care from a nephrologist, and often arrive in the emergency room manifesting life-threatening uremic symptoms requiring emergency rescue dialysis. We examined the relationship between the quality of medical care received during progression to end-stage renal disease, and the clinical condition and morbidity at initiation of renal replacement therapy. During a 5-year period (January 1990 to December 1994), we prospectively studied 139 consecutive inner-city residents with a confirmed diagnosis of chronic renal failure who were starting uremia therapy. At onset of study, subjects were sorted into one of three groups depending on the extent of medical care received during the 3 years immediately preceding initiation of hemodialysis: nephrologist, nonnephrologist (physician), or no medical care. Information obtained from each subject included length of hospital stay during the admission for initiation of dialysis therapy and the type of hemodialysis vascular access used for first dialysis treatment (permanent v temporary). Predialysis blood urea nitrogen concentration, serum creatinine concentration, serum albumin concentration, and serum bicarbonate...Continue Reading
