End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD)

End stage renal disease (ESRD) is the final stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD), also known as kidney failure. This occurs when the kidneys function below 10-15 percent and is often a result of years of chronic kidney disease. After being diagnosed with ESRD, it is important to begin a kidney replacement therapy such as dialysis or to pursue a kidney transplant.
