When chronic kidney disease the gradual loss of kidney function reaches an advanced stage, end-stage renal disease, also known as end-stage kidney disease or kidney failure, develops. Your kidneys no longer perform well as well as they don’t support your body’s needs if you have end-stage renal disease.
Wastes and surplus fluids are filtered from your blood and expelled as urine by your kidneys. When your kidneys lose their filtering ability, your body might accumulate harmful levels of fluid, electrolytes, and toxins.
Dialysis or a kidney transplant are required to keep alive if you have end-stage renal disease. However, you can choose to treat your symptoms with conservative care, aiming for the best quality of life possible in the time you have left.
Symptoms
You may have no indications or symptoms early on in chronic renal disease. The following signs and symptoms may appear as chronic kidney disease advances to end-stage renal disease:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Appetite loss.
