Some physicians embark on dialysis or transplantation before symptoms develop; others prefer to wait until symptoms cannot be controlled by diet alone. Common early symptoms of chronic renal failure include lassitude, fatigue, nausea and vomiting. It is worth starting with a diet as soon as such symptoms develop in a patient for whom dialysis or transplantation is unsuitable or unavailable.}, issn = {0012-6543}, URL = {https://dtb.bmj.com/content/16/16/61}, eprint = {https://dtb.bmj.com/content/16/16/61.full.pdf}, journal = {Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin} }
