Getting a kidney diagnosis can be confusing and scary. After a diagnosis, your medical team will talk about treatment choices you have. This might be:

• Transplant

• Dialysis (at home or in clinic)

• Supportive care

Some people are unable to have a transplant and need to make a choice between dialysis and supportive care. This website has resources to help with this choice.
