Abstract
Comprehensive “conservative care” is defined as any active therapeutic procedure for the management of stage 5 chronic kidney disease without recourse to dialysis. This therapeutic option is discussed in elderly, frail patients whose anticipated life expectancy is reduced with dialysis. The decision for conservative management primarily relies on an informed choice by the patient and his caregivers. This holistic approach, focused on quality of life, requires a multidisciplinary approach. The goals are to slow the progression of kidney disease, prevent complications, anticipate the risks of decompensation, provide support for the patient and his caregivers to maintain the best possible quality of life at home. This article describes the principles of conservative management, highlights various barriers to this care pathway, and proposes potential solutions.
