Chronic kidney disease progression in native and transplant kidneys.

abstract：PURPOSE OF REVIEW:Frailty is highly prevalent in the dialysis population and is associated with mortality. Recent studies have suggested that other dialysis outcomes are compromised in frail individuals. While we do not yet have a consensus as to the best measure of frailty, identification of these poor outcomes and th...
