The meaning of living with a chronic kidney failure

This study is part integrant of result of my inquietude in relationship to the ill person with renal cronic ilness, subject of my dissertation. For that, I used qualitative research phenomenological modality, that allowed me to understand the ill and to answer my interrogation: What is to be a renal chronically ill person? _ The analysis of descriptions revealed the look of the renal chronically ill in relationship with the disease, treatment and the possibility of cure. However in this study I emphasize the meaning to live with chronic renal failure.
