Abstract
There are different approaches to treat patients with End Stage Renal Disease
(ESRD): hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, renal transplantation and conservative
medical management. The choice of the best therapy for each patient, needs
both clinical and ethical skills. The Ethics Committee of the Chilean Society of
Nephrology has elaborated recommendations to help health workers to deal with
the ethical and clinical problems related to patients suffering ESRD. Its goal is to
guide, at a national level, the effective use of minimal standards in the treatment
and care of patients with ESRD, including appropriate care and information for
patients, therapy selection, management of difficult cases and potential conflicts.
