Comprehensive conservative care of stage 5-CKD: A practical guide
Abstract
In French-speaking countries, the anglicism "traitement conservateur" is commonly used in clinical practice for CKD 5 patients, meaning comprehensive conservative care. In 2015, the publication of KDIGO controversies put forward this "new" therapeutic option at the same level as dialysis or transplantation. However, its detailed contents remain heterogeneous due to cultural and ethical considerations, varying with regional or national health systems. This is the reason why the French-speaking society of Nephrology, Dialysis, Transplantation (SFNDT) set up an international debate to publish clinical guidelines in French.
