Grant: CIHR New Investigator
University of Manitoba
$300,000.00
Informing clinical decision making for patients with advanced chronic kidney disease
FY 2014-15
Summary
CKD is common, harmful and preventable, and affects 1 in 8 Canadian adults. Patients with CKD are at high risk of heart attacks and strokes and suffer from fatigue, exhaustion and a lower quality of life. In addition, the end of stage of CKD, kidney failure requiring dialysis is burdensome for patients, families and the health care system. Very little is known about the optimal care of patients with CKD, as they approach the end stage of kidney failure. The right timing for dialysis planning, as well as initiation, and the possible benefit or harm from dialysis, all remain unanswered questions for patients with CKD. In the next five years, we will conduct several studies that will aim to answer these important questions. Ultimately, our goal is to improve the lives of patients with advanced CKD.
