It is time for [ROUND 8] of Disrupting Kidney Care. This time we are tackling one of the most undiscussed and difficult topics, how to deal with the concept of death in a patient on dialysis. This is a conversation that so many physicians, nurses and patients find difficult to bring up.

We will be discussing how to bring up the discussion with a patient and how to establish DNR, advanced directives and medical power of attorney. When to bring in palliative care and hospice. Also discuss the new concept of "concurrent dialysis", allowing patients to do both dialysis and hospice. The panel is packed with a range of perspectives on the topic.....
