Dialysis: Different options to elongate life for those with kidney failure

Ok. You are suffering from kidney failure (ESRD). You can't get a transplant or you'll need to wait on the transplant waiting list for a while. To survive until then, you go on dialysis. There are different types of dialysis. You should see this stellar article in the WSJ to be aware of your options. Keep in mind that there are different life expectancies depending on your decision. Just because Medicare or your insurance reimburses for the typical hemodialysis (3 times a week), that does not mean that is the best option. It's your life - make the educated decision, not the one the medical establishment trys to herd you towards.
