End-of-Life Decisions in Nephrology

End-of-life decisions in nephrology involve choices regarding the care of patients with severe kidney disease or failure. These decisions consider factors like the patient's quality of life, preferences, and the likelihood of recovery. Options may include continuing dialysis, transitioning to palliative care, or opting for no invasive treatments. Healthcare providers work with patients and their families to discuss goals, values, and potential outcomes, ensuring that care aligns with the patient's wishes while managing symptoms and comfort at the end of life. The focus is on respect, dignity, and providing support during a challenging time.
