From: Perceptions of pediatric nephrologists regarding timing of dialysis initiation in children in Canada
Practice patterns of respondents with regard to dialysis initiation. Vertical bar graphs displaying numbers of nephrologists responding to the questions (a) “At what GFR do you typically start dialysis?”, and “What eGFR do you consider to be the absolute lowest you would initiate dialysis in an asymptomatic child?”; b “At what GFR would you consider a pre-emptive transplant in an asymptomatic child?”; and c “When would you insert an arterio-venous fistula in an asymptomatic child?” and “When would you insert a peritoneal dialysis access in an asymptomatic child?” Responses are represented on the X axis and range from 20 to 25 ml/min/1.73 m2 to <4 m/min/1.73 m2 with seven range options. The Y axis represents the number of respondents. NBID not before initiation of dialysis, GFR glomerular filtration rate
