This article reviews a brief history of the origins of dialysis for patients in end stage renal disease (ESRD), focusing on the early beginnings in Seattle, and identifies ethical issues emerging from the new technology. Current ethical issues in ESRD are discussed along with an approach to ethical problem-solving that nephrology nurses may find useful in analyzing cases in the clinical context.
