📋 Dialysis Urgency Evaluation
Based on your reported symptoms and age, here is an assessment of when to start renal replacement therapy.
🔍 Your Evaluation Results
Current eGFR: 0 mL/min
Your age: 0 years
Total indications to consider early dialysis: 0
📌 Clinical note: The decision to start dialysis is based on symptoms, not solely on GFR. More symptoms (especially severe ones) favour earlier initiation.
You reported no specific uraemic symptoms.
✅ You may consider postponing dialysis until eGFR drops below 7 mL/min.
However, you must be closely monitored (labs every 1‑2 weeks, watch for new symptoms). Any worsening of symptoms or electrolyte imbalance would shift the decision toward starting dialysis sooner.

📋 Next steps based on this evaluation
- If advised to start dialysis: Contact your nephrologist today. Arrange for vascular access (AV fistula or graft) or peritoneal catheter. If no access is ready, a temporary central venous catheter may be placed.
- If dialysis can be postponed: Continue medical management with strict dietary control (low potassium, low phosphorus, fluid restriction). Repeat labs every 1‑2 weeks. Create an AV fistula now – it takes months to mature.
- Regardless of decision: Get evaluated for kidney transplant as soon as possible (both living and deceased donor options).
