Chronic kidney disease (CKD) isdivided into five stages. The last stage is called end stage renal disease(ESRD) and is the time when dialysis or transplant is needed to stay alive. Learn what is happening in the body during ESRD and how to live better with this condition.
Kidney failure, also called end-stage renal disease (ESRD), is the last stage of chronic kidney disease. When your kidneys fail, it means they have stopped working well enough for you to survive without dialysis or a kidneytransplant.
Hospice is a very good option in many cases. There has been a study to look at how long one can survive. Patients who have been on dialysis for at least six months and who decide to stop dialysis generally live an average of 10 days. However, this means some will live a very short time and some may live for weeks.
A person with Stage 5 CKD has end stagerenal disease (ESRD) with a GFR of 15 ml/min or less. At this advanced stage of kidney disease the kidneys have lost nearly all their ability to do their job effectively, and eventually dialysis or a kidney transplant is needed to live.
