TL;DR

Early referral of patients with renal failure is indispensable to improve dialysis outcomes and causes more frequent problems of vascular access, longer hospitalisation, more medical complications, higher costs and higher mortality.

Late referral of patients with impaired renal function to renal units causes more frequent problems of vascular access, longer hospitalisation, more medical complications, higher costs and higher mortality. Early referral of patients with renal failure is indispensable to improve dialysis outcomes.
