Dialysis and kidney transplant are the only two treatments for people with kidney failure. It is also important for patients to continue managing any other health conditions they may have, including high blood pressure and/or diabetes. Learn more at: kidney.org/atoz/content/sta...

Oh, this table is for risk of Heart Disease, honestly it's quite confusing ...

The chart posted shows those with their uACR in the orange and/or red range at higher risk for CKD getting worse and greater risk for heart disease. If you'd like to learn more about the heart and kidney connection, visit: kidney.org/atoz/content/hea...

This is probably more relevant to be posted in the Kidney Disease forum, 2 years on dialysis and I don't think uACR or urine sample was taken even once. It was pretty regularly tested when I was monitored for CKD (I had albuminuria).

The whole article talks about what to expect with Stage 5 chronic kidney disease, including treatment options such as dialysis and transplantation. However, thank you for your suggestion.
