Kidney Failure
Also called: End-stage renal disease, ESRD, Renal failure.
Healthy kidneys clean your blood by removing excess fluid, minerals and wastes. They also make hormones that keep your bones strong and your blood healthy. But if they are damaged, they don't work properly. Harmful wastes can build up in your body. Your blood pressure may rise. Your body may retain excess fluid and not make enough red blood cells.
If they fail, you need treatment to replace the work they normally do. The treatment options are dialysis or a transplant. Each treatment has benefits and drawbacks. No matter which treatment you choose, you'll need to make some changes in your life, including how you eat and plan your activities. But with the help of healthcare providers, family and friends, most people can lead full and active lives. For more information please visit the National Library of Medicine web site.
