Chronic kidney disease ( CKD)  is set in 5 stages of increasing severity with a decrease in glomerular filteration rate leading to end stage renal disease( ESRD) requring a treatment of substitution,dialysis or transplantation. CKD is frequent , it increases with age ,and effects one person out of ten in the general population,and only 4 per 1,00,000 will reach end stage renal disesase( ESRD). As soon as it occurs , CKD is associated with increased cardio vacsular comorbid condition.Mortality in dialysis is far higher than in the general population.In France , more than 4billion euros per year, that is 2%of overall health expenditures or dedicated to the treatment of 0.11%of the population.It is therefore at the early stahlges of CKD that the efforts of screening and prevention ofESRD should be targeted.

BackgroundPre-dialysis education can guide the choice of the dialysis modality best tailored to meet the needs and preferences of individual patients with chronic kidney disease.MethodsIn a retrospective single-center cohort study, we evaluated the impact of a pre-dialysis education program on the incidence rates of patients using hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) in our unit. The frequency distribution of dialysis modalities between people attending our education program and people not attending the program (control group) was analyzed for the 4-year period 2004 – 2008.ResultsFrom among all the incident chronic kidney disease 5D patients presenting during the 4-year period, we analyzed 227 who started dialysis either with an arteriovenous fistula or a PD catheter. In that cohort, 70 patients (30.8%) took part in the education program, and 157 (69.2%) did not receive structured pre-dialysis counseling. In the group receiving education, 38 patients (54.3%) started with PD, and 32 (45.7%), with HD. In the standard-care group not receiving education, 44 patients (28%) started with PD, and 113 (72%), with HD ( p < 0.001).ConclusionsOur multidisciplinary pre-dialysis program had a significant impact on the frequency distribution of dialysis modalities, increasing the proportion of patients initiating dialysis with PD.
