One of the toughest clinical questions for practicing nephrologists to answer is, “Will my chronic kidney disease (CKD) patient benefit from dialysis?” In the best-case scenario, a physician should not need to make this judgment alone. Initiating or forgoing dialysis should be a joint decision with the patient after a discussion of the risks and benefits of dialysis vs. non-dialysis management. However, multiple sources confirm nephrologists find conversations about the various treatment pathways associated with advanced CKD challenging. In addition, talking with patients about poor prognoses and end-of-life issues is difficult, and many physicians, including nephrologists, would like to develop more skills in this area.
