Kidney Failure Basics
Kidney failure, also known as end-stage renal disease (ESRD), occurs when the kidneys lose nearly all ability to function, resulting in the buildup of waste and fluid in the body. It can be caused by chronic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, or untreated kidney disease. Treatment options include dialysis or a kidney transplant to replace lost kidney function and sustain life.
