Opting out of dialysis – Exploring patients' decisions to forego dialysis in favour of conservative non‐dialytic management for end‐stage renal disease
Open AccessAngeline S T Seah, Angeline Seah et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2015
BACKGROUND: Dialysis prolongs the life of people with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), but for patients who are elderly and suffer multiple comorbid illnesses the benefits of dialysis may be outweighed by its negative consequences. Non-dialytic conservative management has therefore become an alternative treatment route, yet little is known on patients' experience with choosing end-of-life treatment. AIMS: To gain insight into the decision-making p…
