Treatments for Kidney Disease

 

As your kidney function deteriorates, you may be faced with a choice of treatments for CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease). These include a kidney transplant or one of various types of dialysis.

SAKA does not offer medical advice, but we have brought together some information which may help you to understand a bit more of what is available to you and may help you towards making a decision about your future treatment.

Treatment Options

Dialysis

There are different types of dialysis. Find out more and watch some videos.

Kidney Transplant

A kidney transplant may be from a deceased donor or from a living donor. A series of short videos looks at various aspects of kidney transplantation.
