There is limited evidence that allopurinol reduces CKD progression or cardiovascular events. It appears that AEs and in particular serious adverse events attributable to allopurinol are rare. However, the exact incidence of AEs in patients with CKD is unknown. Direct evidence for the impact of allopurinol on quality of life is lacking.
Allopurinol: Currently recommended as first-line therapy even in patients with moderate-to-severe CKD, allopurinol should be initiated at a

The disconnect is that most members of this population will live less than five years, but only about one in 10 patients surveyed seemed to be aware of this
It doesn't matter how young and fit she is, there is a long list of people needing transplants and not enough donations. Doc had advised her that she was UNLIKELY to get one. She was already in the end stages of CKD.
They wouldn't be siblings they'd be first cousins.

No, it isn't. If a physician sees twenty patients a day, he'll go through those 150 patients in 7½ working days. That isn't enough to keep the lights on and office rent paid. Office personnel and billing all have to be paid for out of the patients' co-pays and health insurance.
In 2011, primary care practices reported an average patient panel size of 2,184, according to a 2012 report from MGMA. For example, if a physician sees 18 patients per day, working 240 days per year, and patients visit your practice twice per year, that physician's panel would be 2,160 patients. -- source: http://www.medigain.com/blog/how-many-patients-do-your-physicians-need-to-see
Even with that, many doctors are in practice with other physicians (if not simply being employees of a larger health care network) to split the costs of office staff.
