Flashcard 8: At what GFR level is maintenance dialysis typically initiated in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD)?

Answer: GFR < 10 mL/min/1.73 m² (typically 5–10 mL/min/1.73 m²)

Extra: While dialysis initiation is primarily driven by clinical symptoms (uremia, refractory fluid overload, electrolyte imbalances), it is generally considered when the GFR falls below 10 mL/min/1.73 m². Note that standard GFR estimation equations (MDRD, CKD-EPI) are not valid for patients already receiving dialysis.
