Synopsis

Having advanced kidney failure changes your life dramatically. You have a choice to make it work for you. Why do I have to limit my fluid intake? What is the big deal about potassium? What dialysis access would be best for me and why? Why am I being asked to do more dialysis? What if I choose to stop or not even start dialysis? How does kidney failure affect aspects of my overall health? What are my transplant options? This booklet was written for individuals who are on dialysis or approaching dialysis. It is also for their family members and significant others. It is written by a nephrologist who, with over 35 years of caring for kidney failure patients, realized that the time taken to give the needed information to patients in the office or dialysis facility was often not enough to provide the explanations of what was asked of them to better manage their health. It covers the major topics in enough detail and in summary form, serving as an easy access reference to reinforce what you, as a patient, need to know about your life and kidney failure. You can play a major role in how you do with this medical challenge. Nowhere is this more true than with kidney failure.
