Uploaded and shared in Youtube by: UMHealthSystem — Chronic kidney disease, likely caused by diabetes or hypertension, can lead to flat-out kidney failure. Now what? Nearly half of patients who end up with end stage renal disease, or kidney failure, have never seen a nephrologist, according to a new study by the University of Michigan. But patients who get early care by a nephrologist are less likely to develop kidney failure, more prepared for dialysis and better informed about their kidney transplant options.
