Abstract

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) in stages 3-5 without albuminuria occurs more often in women than in men; however, most patients initiating and receiving kidney replacement therapy are men. Sex-determined biological factors and gender-related aspects both likely account for this discrepancy. Patient opinions on gender-related discrepancies in kidney care have not been investigated.
