Kidney Failure When you first hear this diagnosis, it's scary. But there are a few things you should know. First, there are three treatment options available. Your renal care team will pick one to match your life-style and physical needs. There are three primary treatment options. Kidney transplantation - an operation which places a healthy kidney into your body. Kidney dialysis - a way to remove waste products and excess water from your blood. Non-treatment is also an option. However, the non-treatment choice will lead to death. Second, you are the most important member of your renal care team. Other members include your doctor, your nurse, your family, your friends, self-help groups, dialysis clinic personnel, nutritionists or dietitians, and qualified social workers. Third, you are not alone. By 1995, estimates show that more than 700,000 people worldwide (200,000 people in just the U.S.) will have kidney failure. You are part of an entire renal care team. So are your doctor, your family, and other health-care people such as a nurse, social worker and dietician. Tap into their knowledge and experience:

There are many things you can do to control your diabetes and minimize your risk of kidney failure including stopping smoking and keeping blood pressure under control. A federal study called the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial proved in 1993 that intensive management of diabetes can reduce the risk of kidney disease by 50 percent.     Intensive management (called tight control) means frequent testing of blood sugar, calculating insulin intake on the basis of diet and exercise, following a diet and exercise plan, and talking often with a health care team whose members are skilled at treating diabetes.
