Outcome of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus on chronic dialysis: an observational study of incident patients of the French National Registry 2002–2012

Abstract

SLE patients on chronic dialysis are a population at high risk of death influenced by CV burden and chronic respiratory failure, but not by the method of dialysis. Their outcome, in terms of mortality and access to kidney transplantation, is intermediate between diabetic patients and patients with PKD.
