End-Stage Renal Disease
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
End-stage renal disease is the most advanced stage of chronic kidney disease, in which the kidneys lose most of their ability to filter waste and excess fluid from the body.
Common symptoms: Swelling in the legs or face, significant fatigue, nausea, changes in the amount of urine, itching, and loss of appetite.
Common causes: It is usually the result of years of kidney damage associated with conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes or high blood pressure.
Which specialist treats it? The nephrologist is the central professional in its follow-up, with support from the internist and, in minors, from the pediatric nephrologist. If you live with kidney disease and notice changes in your general condition, keeping up follow-up with your doctor is the best way to protect kidney function.
