About this document
Understanding End Stage Renal Disease by Dani Dany is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Chronic kidney disease can progress to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) where the kidneys function at less than 10% capacity. Symptoms of ESRD include nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and swelling. Without dialysis or transplant, dangerous levels of wastes build up and can lead to death within 2 years. Common causes include diabetes, high blood pressure, and glomerulonephritis. Diagnosis involves urine and blood tests to detect kidney damage through high levels of creatinine and waste products.
