क्रोनिक किडनी रोग का अंतिम चरण (स्टेज 5, eGFR <15) जहां डायलिसिस या ट्रांसप्लांट के बिना जीवन संभव नहीं।
ESRD, also called established renal failure, occurs when kidney function declines to the point where renal replacement therapy (dialysis or transplant) is necessary for survival. In India, the incidence of ESRD is estimated at 150-200 per million population per year, with diabetes and hypertension as leading causes. Treatment options include hemodialysis (3x/week), peritoneal dialysis (daily at home), and kidney transplantation (best long-term outcomes). Pre-ESRD planning including vascular access creation, transplant evaluation, and patient education significantly improves outcomes.
