Dialysis: Dialysis should always discussed with the nephrologist in charge of your uncle's kidney condition. The risks and benefits of hemodialysis versus peritoneal dialysis versus no dialysis should be weighed thoroughly. His primary care physician may as well be involved in this discussion as goals of care are to be discussed. While dialysis may prolong life, it significantly reduces quality of life.
