Syndrome of rapid onset ESRD accounted for high hemodialysis catheter use--results of a 13-year Mayo Clinic incident hemodialysis study.

CONCLUSIONS: SORO-ESRD accounted for 149 (10%) of 1461 incident ESRD patients. There was no gender disparity. The older population was more susceptible. Ninety-nine percent (99%) of SORO-ESRD patients started their first hemodialysis treatment via a dialysis catheter, a major negative impact on AV fistula first programs. ATN was the leading pathologic diagnosis. We conclude that SORO-ESRD contributes significantly to incident ESRD here in the USA including renal allograft loss. Efforts to reduce AKI incidence or renoprevention demand more attention and priority. PMID: 26375630 [PubMed - in process]
