Treatment

There is no cure for kidney failure, but with treatment it is possible to live a longer and productive life.

Dialysis and kidney transplant are the two treatments for people with kidney failure. Dialysis treatments or a transplanted kidney will take over some of the work from your damaged kidneys and remove wastes and extra fluid from your body. This will make many of your symptoms better. You also have the option to choose not to pursue either option, also known as “conservative management.”

Dialysis: There are two types of dialysis- hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. Both remove waste products and extra fluid from your blood. Hemodialysis uses an artificial kidney machine, while peritoneal dialysis uses the lining in the belly. Hemodialysis treatments can be done at your home or in a clinic. Peritoneal dialysis is usually done at your home.
Kidney transplant: A kidney transplant is an operation that places a healthy kidney in your body.
Conservative management focuses on your quality of life and managing symptoms without dialysis or a kidney transplant. Conservative management is also called comfort care, non-dialytic care, supportive care, or comprehensive conservative care.
There are many things to consider when choosing a treatment for kidney failure, including lifestyle, health problems or the need for someone to assist you. Your decision should be based on your medical history, a healthcare professional’s opinion, and on what you and your family want. Learning about your treatment choices will help you decide which is best for you.
