Abstract：
:Although dialysis discontinuation is the second leading "cause" of death among individuals who are maintained with chronic dialysis, little attention is accorded in the literature to patient ambivalence with this crucial decision. Three cases are presented of clinical situations involving termination of dialysis and ambivalence. The ambivalence of the patients is mirrored by the literature's vacillation between viewing cessation of life-support as pathological, and perceiving it as rational. There is considerable variability in the presentation of these cases, and they require exquisite sensitivity and flexibility on the part of medical personnel. As patient-physician communication is encouraged, and staff attempt to honor requests for initiation and/or discontinuation of treatment, we will see increasing numbers of ambivalent patients.
