Kidney failure: If one has end stage renal disease (e), one's kidneys do not work well enough to keep a patient alive. There are 2 initial treatment options. One is hemodialysis, described at this link: http://www.Nationalkidneycenter.Org/treatment-options/kidney-dialysis/hemodialysis/?Gclid=coh7vjxtwbscfy49qgodg0saeg. The other is peritoneal dialysis: http://www.Medcompnet.Com/products/peritoneal/why_pd.Html?Gclid=cirqzmjtwbscfa10qgodyxmanw.

Renal failure: Already present requires proper diet, fluids, medications from nephrologist, if advanced dialysis, ; if young enough possible renal transplant. Specific instructions should be discussed with pcp.
