Cobb J, et al. - Researchers determined the link between mortality and pre-ESRD (end-stage renal disease) nephrology care in incident ESRD patients with multiple myeloma (MM) as the primary cause of renal failure. Predialysis nephrology care was less likely to be given to MM-ESRD patients. Furthermore, these patients were more likely to use catheters on first dialysis. However, there was an independent association between predialysis care and lower mortality in MM-ESRD patients. Prioritizing predialysis care in MM patients approaching ESRD was recommended.
