A Randomized, Controlled Trial of Early versus Late Initiation of Dialysis

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined whether the timing of the initiation of maintenance dialysis influenced survival among patients with chronic kidney disease and found no significant difference between the groups in the frequency of adverse events, infections, or complications of dialysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Initiating Dialysis Early and Late (IDEAL) study: study rationale and design

TL;DR: The IDEAL study will provide evidence for the optimal time to commence dialysis and determine the impact of “early start’ versus “late start” dialysis on nutritional and cardiac morbidity, quality of life, and economic cost.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of Early Initiation of Dialysis on Cardiac Structure and Function: Results From the Echo Substudy of the IDEAL Trial

TL;DR: Advanced cardiac disease in these patients with stage 5 chronic kidney disease did not progress during the 12-month study period and planned early initiation of dialysis therapy did not result in differences in any echocardiographic variables of cardiac structure and function.
