Funded Activity Summary

Chronic Kidney Disease is responsible for approximately 10% of deaths in Australia and this rate is increasing. There is also a growing number of people over 65 who are progressing to end stage kidney disease (ESKD). For some elderly people dialysis treatment may not be in their best interest. This research will develop and evaluate an evidence-based information tool to assist elderly people and their families in making appropriate decisions regarding treatment options in management of ESKD.
