Understanding End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD)
End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) is the final stage of chronic kidney disease in which the kidneys lose nearly all functional capacity. At this stage, the kidneys can no longer adequately remove waste products or maintain fluid and electrolyte balance, making dialysis or kidney transplantation necessary for survival.
Introduction
End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) is the final stage of chronic kidney disease in which the kidneys lose nearly all functional capacity.
