Research, technology, treatment options, outcomes, and significant results are constant in the world of kidney disease. Dialysis and kidney transplantation have not always been available to those in need. If you do not know by now, you should know that dialysis does not mean the end of your life but the end of your kidney function on its own. Treatment options, such as in-center dialysis, home dialysis and of course, transplantation are commonly used treatment options.
