Of course, we don't only follow dialysis patients..
For exemple, I work in a group of 6 nephrologist in a small community in Canada and we follow approximately:
- 300 hemodialysis patients
- 50 peritoneal dialysis patients
- 150 kidney transplant patients
- 700 patients with CKD (eGFR less 30)
Plus we also cover:
- inpatient nephrology consultations in two local hospitals
- outpatient nephrology consultations (ambulatory)
And we admit our patients with active medical problems (20 beds).
Is this similar to the practice of a small group of nephrologists in USA?
