Abstract
Over the last 2 decades, for-profit dialysis units have become the most common providers of renal replacement therapy for adults with end stage renal disease (ESRD) and have had an increasing role in the dialysis of children. We undertook a study to determine whether dialysis facility profit status influences the choice of dialysis therapy in the pediatric population.
