Understanding ESRD

End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) is the final stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD), where the kidneys can no longer function adequately to meet the body’s needs. Here’s a concise overview:

  • Causes: Diabetes and high blood pressure are the leading causes of ESRD. Other conditions like glomerulonephritis, polycystic kidney disease, and autoimmune diseases can also lead to it.
  • Symptoms: Fatigue, swelling (edema), shortness of breath, confusion, nausea, and decreased urine output are common. Symptoms worsen as kidney function declines.
  • Diagnosis: ESRD is typically diagnosed through blood tests (high creatinine and urea levels) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) below 15.
  • Treatment: Dialysis (hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis) or kidney transplantation is required for survival. Medications to manage symptoms and complications (like anemia or bone disease) are also used.
  • Management: Patients need lifestyle adjustments, such as dietary changes (low sodium, potassium, and phosphorus intake) and careful fluid management.
