Is there anyone on the Conservative treatment as opposed to haemodialysis? I am interested in hearing if the research results of the same life expectancy with less unpleasant side effects are valid.

You might find this interesting, it's a PDF file produced by the NHS Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham.

From my research you are almost certainly to die much sooner as a result of conservative care but it's a choice, a little like some people decide not to have chemotherapy for cancer.

I wouldn't use it but it is a personal choice and perhaps for some the right one.
