Most people with kidney problems have Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Chronic kidney disease slowly lose function. When the kidneys function at 15% or less, this is called Kidney Failure or end stage renal disease (ESRD). For stage 5 patients, their kidneys nearly fail completely, harmful wastes and build up in your body, triggering severe symptoms and complications. When this happens, you will need MHD to replace the work of your failed kidneys, so as to maintain patients’ life time.
