•1) Prevalent dialysis patients aged 65 years or over, who have been on dialysis for 90 days prior to survey date will be eligible to participate in the study.
•2) Incident (new) chronic kidney disease patients aged 65 years or over, with an eGFR equal to or less than 15 ml/min/1.73m2 presenting to the same services for consideration of dialysis will be eligible to participate in the study. A proportion of these incident patients will decide not to undertake dialysis. They will provide important data to compare and contrast with those who commence dialysis. At present, no data are collected in New Zealand about proportion of patients who decide not to enter a dialysis programme for end stage renal failure, although we estimate this to be 10 of the 40 incident patients recruited to the study each year. 3) Patients aged =65 years who present with hitherto unrecognized renal failure requiring immediate dialysis will be eligible if their renal failure is deemed permanent by the treating nephrologist, and if dialysis is intended to be an indefinite treatment.

•1) Inability to give informed consent, 2) Inability to participate in a telephone or face-to-face interview 3) Intercurrent illness requiring hospitalisation (current and within 2 weeks of the survey period) and of sufficient severity to affect patient’s ability to take part in the opinion of the treating physician (interviews for this last group will be rescheduled for 1 month later).
