According to the National Kidney Foundation, 26 million American adults have chronic kidney disease; about 50,000 of those patients end up receiving renal replacement therapy, whether it be dialysis or (many fewer) a kidney transplant. As kidney disease progesses, the body's ability to process/eliminate wastes as well as regulate a number of metabolic processes diminishes. Common risk factors for the development of such kidney insufficiency include long-standing/poorly-controlled hypertension, Diabetes mellitus, and poly-cystic kidney disease.
