End-Stage Kidney Disease

📖What is End-Stage Kidney Disease?

End-stage kidney disease is the final, most severe stage of chronic kidney disease, in which the kidneys have lost nearly all ability to function and filter waste and excess fluid from the blood, requiring dialysis or transplantation to sustain life. It develops gradually over years as chronic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension progressively damage kidney tissue, eventually leading to a buildup of toxins, fluid, and electrolyte imbalances that affect nearly every organ system. Without renal replacement therapy, the condition is fatal, making early detection and management of chronic kidney disease critical to delaying or preventing progression.
