Dialysis/ transplant: Dialysis is in-center i.e. Hemodialysis (blood dialysis) dialysis at home usually peritoneal via abdominal catheter transplant (living-related, cadaveric, or living-unrelated) or a combination of all the above in sequence.

Kidney failure: It all depends on the condition, the stage of renal insufficiency, and other medical conditions that coexist. If a person is at what is termed end-stage renal failure, then dialysis is the best option - either peritoneal or hemo depending on a whole bunch of factors.

Renal failure option: Apart from hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis, renal transplantation is an option for patients with end stage renal disease.
