Cesta dialyzovaného pacienta zdravotnickým systémem

English summary: A dialysis patient’s pathway through the healthcare system. Freely available analyses from health insurance companies and the Institute of Health Information and Statistics of the Czech Republic (UZIS) indicate that a large proportion of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) come to dialysis “straight off the street”, i.e. without having been detected and treated timely in the earlier stages of the disease. We have therefore, in collaboration with an expert medical society, defined a project whose aim is, on the one hand, to describe a dialysis patient’s pathway through the system and, on the other hand, to evaluate the course and effectiveness of subsequent treatment depending on the treatment regimen the patient in question was on prior to starting dialysis.
