During the pre-dialysis stage of chronic kidney disease, which treatment is associated with better survival in dialysis?

CONCLUSION: These results suggest a potential delayed benefit of some treatments in pre-dialysis stages on the outcome of dialysis. Furthermore, beginning dialysis without an IAVF, resulting in the need for intravenous catheters, worsens prognosis in these patients. PMID: 25036060 [PubMed - in process]
