- Abstract
The article reports on a study related to the impact of an established Multidisciplinary predialysis education (MPE) programme on the outcome of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3 or higher. As reported the outcome of MPE seems to be different between different studies. In one of the studies, the mean renal function at inclusion was highest. However, the another study confirms that early nephrology referral is not sufficient to improve outcomes.
