It’s sudden or gradual, and often reversible loss of kidney function. It’s a serious condition requiring immediate medical attention and treatment.

This is the artificial method used to remove waste from your blood. This is the only treatment for patients with ESRD in the absence of a kidney transplant. Dialysis accomplishes some of the functions of a normal kidney for example removing waste products, excess salt and water from the body as well as helping to control your blood pressure.
The 2 types of dialysis are hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. Depending on your health, lifestyle or other medical factors, you and your doctor could elect what type of dialysis is right for you based on advantages, requirements and scheduling options.
- Hemodialysis: This is the process where blood is filtered outside the body by a machine and then returned to your body. Learn more about our hemodialysis team/unit
- Peritoneal dialysis: The lining of the inside of your abdomen is called the peritoneum. This natural lining can be used to filter your blood, hence the name peritoneal dialysis.
This will depend on the stage of CKD. Please follow up with your team to make this determination. However:
- Limit the amount of salt – this can raise your blood pressure and counteract your kidneys
- Watch out for too much phosphorus and potassium. With CKD and ESRD, these minerals can build up in your body and potentially create heart problems
- Watch the amounts of protein you’re taking in collaboration with your physician
