There are a number of different treatment options for kidney failure. It is very important to partner with your doctors(s) to work together and find out which treatment option is right for you and your circumstances. Patients can choose one of the treatment options that are designed to help filter their blood and also take over a small part of the work that kidneys are supposed to perform, but can no longer do due to damaged kidneys. Another option offers care and treatment without having to replace the work of the damaged kidneys. It is very important for the patient to keep in mind that none of these treatments will help the kidneys get better or recover. However, they are all designed to help the patient feel better. - Hemodialysis: Treatment that utilizes a machine to move the patients’ blood through a filter while removing wastes. - Peritoneal dialysis: Treatment that utilizes the lining of a patients belly to filter blood inside the body while removing wastes. - Kidney transplant: Surgery to replace a diseased kidney with a healthy one. - Conservative management: Treatment of kidney failure without utilizing dialysis or a kidney transplant. Patient will work with their health care team to manage their symptoms and try to preserve the kidney function and their quality of life as long as possible.
