Conservative Kidney Management can be an alternative to Dialysis.
In this, advanced kidney failure patients are managed without dialysis, with medications and dietary modification. Conservative Kidney Management is offered to selected patients who are very old (> 80 years) or expected to have a poor quality of life despite dialysis.
The aim is to control the symptoms of the patients to prevent suffering and offer palliative care but eventually culminates in termination of life.
