End-Stage Kidney Disease & Renal Replacement Therapies
End-stage kidney disease (ESKD) is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. When chronic kidney disease (CKD) progresses to ESKD, treatment often includes renal replacement therapies (RRT) such as dialysis or kidney transplantation. Managing patients with ESKD, RRT and kidney transplantation requires more intensive treatment and often palliative care.
