title: [Dialysis treatment for diabetic patients].
abstract: Advanced-stage diabetic nephropathy requires multidisciplinary treatment for the patient. He/she must be informed, when necessary, of the possible dialysis methods and the assessment of the transplant options. Haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis offer comparable survival rates. The enlightened choice of the patient is guided by the nephrology team. Survival on dialysis unfortunately remains uncertain due to numerous comorbidities, in particular cardiovascular conditions.
