How it works

You have the possibility to choose values underneath, that matter most to you individually.
There are 3 different kind of values. Feel free to check all of them!

By "checking" the most important ones, you will recieve further information for all therapies: dialysis, transplantation and conservative care.

Please be aware, that it might make sense to start only with some values, max 3, as there are quite some information on the following pages.

Directly on the next page, there is the possibility to exclude therapies, in case one or two are not interesting for you and for which you have already been told by your physician that they are not an option for you.

After having chosen the values and therapies, you get to the main part: you will get information, why a therapy might be suitable or why it might not be suitable for the value(s) you chose based on your lifestyle.

You have the possibility to rate the different therapies based on those facts as well in the following pages. Underneath each therapy, there are little stars to rate the therapy with 0 to 5 stars.

The more feedback you give, the better the result in the end.
