Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Assessment of Quality of Life (QoL) modification by the KIDNEY DISEASE QUALITY OF LIFE (KDQOL)questionary [ Time Frame: 3 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Assessment of functional capacity by Six-Minute Walking test and Sit-to-Stand-to-sit test [ Time Frame: 3 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Evaluation of mortality (all causes and cardiovascular only), non-fatal cardiovascular events, all-causes hospitalizations and dialysis access survival. [ Time Frame: 3 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
