Comprehensive conservative renal care
Comprehensive conservative renal care is care that focuses on symptom management, pain control and providing the best possible quality of life. It generally means no dialysis treatment.
Without dialysis, those with end stage kidney disease will grow weaker until the end of their life. However, even without dialysis, you may survive for a long time.
Support
- A dialysis trial may be possible while choosing conservative management.
- If an individual chooses not to receive dialysis, community and hospital supports are available.
