Proud of this Kidney International paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.ki.... Nephrology involves optimal delivery of treatments that prolong life, preserve & replace organ function. The art lies in shaping this care to the person.

Figure 1 | Patients have diverse preferences that reflect individual variation in what they consider important. Those planning for life
with kidney failure want control over their futures and tend to desire autonomy in treatment decision-making. They will trade off the
potential benefits of treatments against an over-riding desire to minimize disruption of daily and family life, responsibilities, and interests. The
treatments that patients plan for and receive reflect complex processes involving many actors. Familial, community, societal, cultural,
spiritual, clinical, and informational factors shape preferences, restrict or provide treatment options, and guide decisions. Skill, investment,
and intentional practice are needed to ensure that patient preferences carry weight in decision-making.
