Mortality risk for patients receiving hemodiafiltration versus hemodialysis
Tomas Jirka,Salvatore Cesare,A. Di Benedetto,M. Perera Chang,Pedro Ponce,Nick Richards,Ciro Tetta,L. Vaslaky +7 more
TL;DR: Canaud et al. as mentioned in this paper reported a significant 35% lower mortality risk with high-efficiency hemodiafiltration (HDF) compared to low-flux hemodialysis.

Primary care-based disease management of chronic kidney disease (CKD), based on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) reporting, improves patient outcomes
Nick Richards,Kevin P.G. Harris,Malcolm Whitfield,Donal O’Donoghue,Robert Lewis,Martin Mansell,Stephen Thomas,John Townend,Mick Eames,Daniele Marcelli +9 more
TL;DR: The introduction of an algorithm-based, primary care disease management programme based on automated diagnosis using estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) reporting suggests that chronic disease management in this form is an effective method of identifying and managing patients with CKD within the UK.

TL;DR: A common theme is the potential benefits of multistakeholder engagement aimed at improving the availability and scope of integrated kidney care in countries responding to the challenge of end-stage kidney disease in different ways.

Tomas Jirka,Salvatore Cesare,A. Di Benedetto,M. Perera Chang,Pedro Ponce,Nick Richards,Ciro Tetta,L. Vaslaky,Bernard Canaud,J. L. Bragg Gresham,Mark R. Marshall,S. Desmeules,Brenda W. Gillespie,Tom Depner,Preston S. Klassen,Friedrich K. Port +15 more
TL;DR: Patients on HDF were slightly older, significantly heavier, and longer on renal replacement therapy (higher co-morbidity), thus, they were possibly selected for HDF because of their higher risk profile.

The impact of population-based identification of chronic kidney disease using estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) reporting
Nick Richards,Kevin P.G. Harris,Malcolm Whitfield,Donal O’Donoghue,Robert Lewis,Martin Mansell,Stephen Thomas,John Townend,Mick Eames,Daniele Marcelli +9 more
TL;DR: The reporting of the eGFR in association with this DMP effectively identified patients with CKD and a referral assessment programme can effectively ensure appropriate nephrology referral and avoids exceeding the capacity of nephrolog services.
