End-Stage Renal Disease
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
End-stage renal disease is the advanced stage of chronic kidney disease, in which the kidneys almost permanently lose their ability to filter waste and regulate fluids in the body.
Associated signs: marked fatigue, swelling, changes in the amount of urine, nausea, and difficulty concentrating may occur, although they vary from person to person.
Common causes: it is often the culmination of conditions such as diabetes or hypertension sustained over time, in addition to kidney diseases themselves.
Which specialist manages it? The nephrologist is the physician who follows up on kidney function; in children the pediatric nephrologist is involved, and the pediatrician or general practitioner usually coordinates the referral. If there is long-standing kidney disease, maintaining ongoing professional monitoring is essential.
