    Extractions: 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:

The provisions for ESRD are applied without regard to the number of individuals employed and the employer coverage does not have to be based on current employment only. Medicare is secondary to GHP coverage from COBRA or a retirement plan. Medicare is secondary during the coordination period even if the employer policy or plan contains a provision stating that its benefits are secondary to Medicare. When the beneficiary first enrolls in Medicare based on ESRD, Medicare coverage usually starts: On the fourth month of dialysis when the beneficiary participates in dialysis treatment in a dialysis facility.

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.

The cysts reduce kidney function and lead to kidney failure. Over 600,000 Americans have this disease. Is There a Cure for Polycystic Kidney Disease? There is no cure for PKD. When polycystic kidney disease causes kidneys to fail - which usually happens only after many years - the patient requires dialysis or a kidney transplant.

    Extractions: Where can I go for support and advice? This leaflet explains kidney failure and what to expect when your child comes to Great Ormond Street Hospital for treatment. Kidneys are responsible for filtering blood and excreting waste products and excess water in the form of urine. This controls the body's water and salt balance and regulates blood pressure. Kidney failure happens when one or both of your child's kidneys stop working properly. This leads to uraemia (build up of waste products) and other symptoms of varying severity depending on the extent to which the kidneys have failed. Kidney failure can happen for many reasons. Your child may have had an infection which affected the kidneys, or there may have been a problem present from birth (congenital). Kidney damage can also be caused by trauma, for example a direct blow to the kidneys. How do kidneys fail?
