End-Stage Renal Disease treatment in Atizapán de Zaragoza

End-stage renal disease is the most advanced stage of chronic kidney disease, in which the kidneys permanently lose much of their ability to filter the blood and remove waste and fluids from the body.

How it presents: it can cause swelling, marked fatigue, nausea, a decrease in the amount of urine, itchy skin, and difficulty breathing.

How it develops: it is usually the progression of long-standing conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure that damage the kidneys over time.

Which specialist treats it? The nephrologist is the physician who specializes in kidney diseases and coordinates the ongoing care of this stage, with support from the general practitioner. At the first signs of declining kidney function, the most appropriate approach is to maintain close monitoring with these professionals.
