Chronic and End Stage Renal Diseases

Additionally  known as end-stage renal disease, end-stage kidney disease (ESRD). The main contributors to ESRD include diabetes and hypertension. People with ESRD have kidneys that only function at 10% of their usual capacity, which may indicate that they are not working at all. In general, kidney disease progresses. Each stage's duration varies and depends on how the kidney infection is treated, particularly in connection to food. Typically, chronic kidney disease progresses to its final stage 10 to 20 years after diagnosis. The treatments for ESRD include kidney transplantation.
