Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Use of kidney replacement therapy (KRT) prediction models for guiding arteriovenous fistula (AVF) referrals in advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) is unknown. We aimed to compare a hypothetical approach using a KRT prediction model developed in Kaiser Permanente Northwest to estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) for AVF referrals.
