Neonatal renal replacement therapy: An ethical reflection for a crucial decision.

CONCLUSION: Such ethical dilemmas are challenging for parents and physicians. They can only be overcome by taking into account both concrete on the ground realities and general principles and values acknowledged to be a basis for respecting the individual. In this way, it ensures humaneness and humanization of a practice that must meet a variety of challenges, one by one.
