Transplantation & Dialysis

When chronic kidney disease (CKD) progresses to kidney failure, it is often associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Treatment options might include in-center or at-home dialysis or kidney transplantation. Managing patients nearing kidney failure, patients on dialysis, or those that have received a kidney transplant requires more intensive treatment and often palliative care.
