You have to make many decisions when you have kidney failure. Figure 3 illustrates some of these decisions. The figure is divided by a dotted line. Decisions above the dotted line – marked with grey – are decisions that are prior to the decision you are about to make; the decision you have to
make is shown below the dotted line.
You have to decide between P-dialysis and haemodialysis. If you are unable to manage the treatment yourself, you can in most cases get help. In most municipalities, you can get help at home for P-dialysis. In haemodialysis, you will undergo dialysis at the hospital where you will get the help needed.
