 End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is the irreversible stage of kidney impairment that cannot be controlled by conservative management alone and requires dialysis or kidney transplantation to maintain life. There are two levels of kidney impairment that can lead to ESRD: acute and chronic. End-stage renal disease (ESRD) implies chronic renal failure (CRF) of a degree (i.e., glomerular filtration rate, GFR<10–12 mL/min) such that life cannot be sustained long-term without dialysis. In contrast to acute kidney failure, chronic kidney failure is a permanent condition that leads to a progressive decline in renal function. Once it occurs, the kidneys cannot be made to function properly again, even when an inciting event has been corrected. CRF may exist for 10 to 20 years before progressing to ESRD. Over 70% of late-stage chronic kidney disease cases result from prolonged diabetes mellitus or hypertension. Glomerulonephritis, cystic diseases, and other urologic diseases account for anot...
