CKD patients have several options available to them, but the process of deciding which is best can be intimidating. Healthmap Solutions can help. We offer a three-part patient guide on *Choosing the Right Dialysis Type.* ###### **Part 1: What are my options?** Part 1 explains the nature and purpose of dialysis and provides an overview of the different types of treatment. ###### **Part 2: What do I need to know?** Part 2 goes into the specifics of each dialysis option, and their pros and cons. ###### **Part 3: Which option will work best for me?** Part 3 organizes decision-making with a series of questions that enable patients to carefully consider all aspects of their treatment.
