The incurable condition – also known as renal failure, end stage renal disease or end stage kidney disease – is the final phase of chronic kidney disease, which often advances silently, with...
End-stage renal disease—ESRD—is also known as kidney failure. It is often caused by chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is stage 5—or the final stage—of CKD, which is when the kidneys stop functioning. ESRD is when 85% to 90% of kidney function is gone.
Chronic kidney disease can progress to end-stage kidney failure, which is fatal without artificial filtering (dialysis) or a kidney transplant. How kidneys work. Show transcript. Products & Services. A Book: Mayo Clinic Family Health Book. Show more products from Mayo Clinic. Symptoms.
