Lire la suite >Scheduled thrice-weekly haemodialysis represents the standard of care for patients suffering end-stage renal disease (ESRD) pending kidney transplantation based on cogent evidence and guidelines. Yet, when it comes to undocumented migrants with no health insurance, an emergency-only dialysis strategy is often used to treat life-threatening manifestations of ESRD [1–3]. Most available studies on dialysis in undocumented migrants stem from the USA. Nevertheless, this situation is common in Europe, where immigrants represent about 1.5% of the dialysis population [4]. The French healthcare scheme provides for full reimbursement of expenditures related to ESRD on grounds of citizenship and residence status [5, 6]. The lack of an unambiguous national policy regarding insurance coverage during the first 3 months of stay of undocumented migrants has given rise to disparate appraisal across nephrology centres in France: some centres have opted for an emergency-only dialysis strategy whereas others have settled for scheduled haemodialysis. Likewise, the decision to enrol patients on the waiting list for kidney transplantation differs according to local policy. France, akin to other European countries, has experienced a rising trend in migration, bringing these issues into the spotlight [7]. Through two nationwide surveys sponsored by the Société Francophone de Néphrologie, Dialyse et Transplantation, we sought to: (i) estimate the number of patients involved per centre, (ii) examine the determinants underpinning the decision to proceed to or forego scheduled haemodialysis and/or kidney transplantation, and (iii) investigate the clinicians’ perception of local policy. The surveys were sent through the mailing list consisting of 870 currently practicing nephrologists in France.Lire moins >
