Indication for referral to a nephrologist




Appropriate referral is associated with:
  • reduced rates of progression to end stage kidney disease
  • decreased patient morbidity and mortality
  • decreased need for and duration of hospitalisation
  • increased likelihood of timely preparation of permanent dialysis access prior to dialysis onset
  • increased likelihood of kidney transplantation
