[Dialysis, kidney transplant : the weight of words]

Dialysis, kidney transplant: the weight of Words. Two treatments are available when both kidneys don't function anymore : dialysis and kidney transplant. How do patients feel about their treatments ? What are the words they use to express their relations to dialysis or transplant ? The analysis of answers written by patients in a survey organized by Renaloo shows the great diversity of the relations patients feel about their treatments. People under dialysis focus on the constraints linked to the treatment while people with transplant underline freedom and life.
