Patient perspectives on renal replacement therapy modality choice: a multicenter questionnaire study on bioethical dimensions.

CONCLUSIONS: Our study demonstrates that PD patients showed more scrutiny of their situation as patients, especially their co-patients. Their treatment empowered them toward feeling more autonomous than HD patients. These new insights into patient perspectives on RRT choice might facilitate modality choice for nephrologists.
