Cesta dialyzovaného pacienta zdravotnickým systémem

English summary: A dialysis patient's journey through the healthcare system. Given the publicly available analyses from insurance companies and the Institute of Health Information and Statistics (ÚZIS) pointing to the fact that a large proportion of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) enter dialysis “off the street”— i.e., without early detection and timely treatment of earlier stages of CKD, we have defined a project in collaboration with a professional society. The aim of this project is to describe the journey of a dialysis patient through the system and to evaluate the course and effectiveness of subsequent treatment depending on the treatment regimen the patient had prior to starting dialysis.
