Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a term used to describe kidney damage or reduced kidney function (regardless of the cause) that persists for more than 3 months. Sometimes, CKD leads to kidney failure or end stage renal disease (ESRD), which requires dialysis or a kidney transplant to keep you alive.

End stage renal disease (ESRD) is total and permanent kidney failure. When the kidneys fail, the body retains fluid and harmful waste builds up. If you have ESRD, you will need dialysis or a kidney transplant to stay alive.

There is no cure for CKD or ESRD. However, there are ways to manage CKD and ESRD.

Put simply, dialysis is a way of cleaning your blood. It is a medical treatment for people with ESRD that does some of the work healthy kidneys would do, including:

Removing waste, salt, and extra water from your body

Regulating your body’s fluid balance

Helping to control your blood pressure.

At the beginning, needles may cause a pinch of pain going in, but the pain should stop after that. Dialysis itself should not be painful. However, because the effects of kidney dialysis vary from one person to another, uncomfortable side effects such as nausea, vomiting, itchiness, and muscle cramps may occur. If this happens, kindly inform your healthcare team.

There are 2 main types of dialysis—hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD)—and each has different advantages, requirements, and scheduling options. Depending on your health, lifestyle, and other factors, you and your doctor should decide which type of dialysis is right for you.

Each treatment takes about 4 to 5 hours and is carried out thrice a week on alternate days.
