CKD5D patients frequently require intensive care during acute illness. While they have an equivalent 5-year survival rate, time to death is longer suggesting mortality is related to chronic disease progression rather than their acute illness. These results suggest the presence of CKD5D in isolation should not be a reason to limit critical care.
