26 After two weeks GFR (MDRD) 11 ml/min Dynamic kidney scintigraphy: Filtration disorder in both kidneys. Decreased renal function. Peritoneal dialysis chateter implantation.

27 Take home message Patient education and cooperation is an indispensable foundation for the effective therapy. There can be expressive differences in GFR calculation methods. Loss of kidney function (CKD V) can develop without a severe glomerular sclerosis in a kidney biopsy. There is an important place for Internal medicine in the future of Medicine.
