Introduction: Chronic kidney disease is a public health problem due to its high incidence and prevalence, important morbidity and mortality, and cost of care. A fundamental aspect for the patient is the choice of modality of renal replacement therapy. In this sense, the consultation of advanced chronic renal disease or predialysis, can play a fundamental role. Objective: To know scientific production on the influence of the consultation of advanced chronic renal disease in the choice of renal replacement therapy modality from the patient perspective. Methodology: Bibliographic review for which the databases of PubMed, Scielo, Science Direct, Proquest and Google Scholar were searched. We analyzed those articles that addressed the pre-dialysis consultation, variables that influenced the choice of dialysis modality and patient satisfaction. Results: We have reviewed 25 articles published in the years 2002-2014, both descriptive observational and cohort design. We have found a relationship in the choice of domiciliary techniques with the existence of a predialysis education program, the information offered by nursing, the programmed entrance into dialysis, younger age, lower comorbidity and socioeconomic or structural factors. Conclusion: The factors facilitating the choice of home dialysis techniques are the existence of advanced chronic kidney disease consultation and the patient's timely reference to such consultation, being young, reduced comorbidity and the need for cost containment. This choice is hampered by structural factors. Home therapies produce greater patient satisfaction.
