End-Stage Kidney Disease
End-Stage Kidney Disease Specialists in Pennsylvania
Understanding ESKD
End-stage renal disease (ESRD), also called end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), occurs when the kidneys can no longer function well enough to meet the body’s needs. At Clinical Renal Associates, our nephrology specialists provide expert guidance and support to help you understand your condition and the available treatment options.
ESKD develops after progressive loss of kidney function over time. Symptoms may include fatigue, swelling, nausea, confusion, or changes in urination. At this stage, the kidneys cannot filter waste effectively, making timely intervention essential.
Treatment for End-Stage Kidney Disease
Our board-certified nephrologists create personalized treatment plans that may include dialysis therapies such as hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. We are also dedicated to helping patients receive a kidney transplant before starting dialysis or as soon as possible after dialysis begins. We coordinate each step of your care to ensure you feel supported and informed.
