Chronic kidney can lead to kidney failure and the need for dialysis. 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.
