Hyphen in end stage renal disease? - Kim


Posted: Oct 29, 2010

I always have a hard time remembering whether there is a hyphen between "end" and "stage" in end stage renal disease.  Anyone?

Yes, it should read end-stage renal disease. Using an abbreviations book as a reference usually clarifies this issue.
