Early diagnoses of kidney disease saves lives; studies say that seeing a specialist early in the course of kidney disease helps long-term survival.
A Johns Hopkins study suggests a delay of just months can cost lives. Epidemiologist Neil Powe studied long-term outcomes of over 800 dialysis patients. 70% were evaluated early by a specialist, at least a year prior to starting dialysis and those that got evaluated earlier had almost two times greater survival than those that were evaluated late.
Most individuals who develop kidney disease have other medical problems as well, so getting into care earlier allows a physician to address those problems in a timely fashion so that when patients go onto dialysis they are in the best shape possible.
