Effects of 1-week inpatient multidisciplinary care for chronic kidney disease prior to outpatient collaborative care.

Multidisciplinary care for Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) has been reported to be effective in preventing deterioration of renal function and avoiding hemodialysis induction using a central venous catheter.

Methods
