AB  - The  decision  to  initiate  dialysis  for  the  management  of  end  stage  renal  disease  (ESRD)  usually  depends  on  a  combination  of  the  pt’s  symptoms,  comorbid  conditions,  and  laboratory  parameters.  Unless  a  living  donor  is  identified,  transplantation  is  deferred  by  necessity,  due  to  the  scarcity  of  deceased  donor  organs  (median  waiting  time,  3–6  years  at  most  transplant  centers).  Dialytic  options  include  hemodialysis  and  peritoneal  dialysis  (PD).  Roughly  85%  of  U.S.  pts  are  started  on  hemodialysis.
