lõppneerupuudulikkuseni

Lõppneerupuudulikkuseni, also known as end-stage kidney disease, refers to the final stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD), where the kidneys are severely damaged and can no longer effectively filter waste and excess fluid from the blood. This stage is characterized by a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of less than 15 ml/min/1.73 m2, indicating that the kidneys are functioning at less than 15% of their normal capacity.

At this stage, the body accumulates waste products, electrolytes, and fluid, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, swelling, shortness of breath, and frequent urination. The condition is often accompanied by high levels of urea and creatinine in the blood, which can cause further complications such as anemia, bone disease, and cardiovascular problems.

Treatment options for lõppneerupuudulikkuseni are limited and typically involve dialysis or kidney transplantation. Dialysis is a process that artificially filters the blood, removing waste and excess fluid, while a kidney transplant involves replacing the damaged kidneys with healthy ones from a donor.

Prevention and management of lõppneerupuudulikkuseni focus on controlling risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and infections, as well as maintaining a healthy lifestyle through diet, exercise, and regular medical check-ups. Early detection and intervention are crucial in preventing the progression of CKD to lõppneerupuudulikkuseni.
