Two periods adjacent to starting dialysis are called “chronic kidney disease - peridialysis.” The predialysis period is of varying duration, while the dialysis period lasts up to 3 months after the first dialysis session. During the peridialysis period of chronic kidney disease, complications, mortality, and treatment costs increase significantly. The rate of glomerular filtration rapidly decreases, which requires intensive treatment. Management of the peridialysis period is a challenging clinical problem. This review aims to acquaint all working with patients with chronic kidney disease with the novelties published in the medical literature in recent years about the principle of work in patients with glomerular filtration below 15 ml/min per 1.73 m².
