TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess the prevalence, quality of screening and treatment of chronic kidney disease (CKD), and their trends between 2001 and 2007, in French adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

TL;DR: Obsational data suggests that dialysis does not provide a survival benefit for older adults with poor mobility and high levels of comorbidity, and many older adults may prefer to delay dialysis until there is a definitive indication or may opt for conservative management without dialysis.

TL;DR: Pat characteristics at dialysis therapy initiation, prospective survival, and time to transplantation were very similar for infants initiated on PD or HD therapy, despite a widespread preconception that HD should be reserved for cases in which PD is not feasible.

TL;DR: The data demonstrate the need to reinforce strategies for optimal management of patients with diabetes to improve prevention, or delay the onset, of diabetic nephropathy, ESRD and cardiovascular comorbidities, and to reduce the rate of emergency dialysis.

TL;DR: Elderly kidney transplantation survival benefit in people aged ≥70 who were receiving renal replacement therapy (RRT) and their risk factors for posttransplant mortality were evaluated, including diabetes, cardiovascular comorbidities, and dialysis duration >2 years.
