Is there any difference between kidney disease and kidney failure?
Kidney disease and kidney failure aren’t the same thing, though they’re definitely connected. Kidney disease covers a wide range of problems. Here, the kidneys are damaged and gradually lose their ability to function. Sometimes the damage is mild. Other times, it’s more serious. Early on, the kidneys often continue to function pretty well. Causes can include diabetes, high blood pressure, infections, or even genetic issues. Kidney failure, also called end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), is what happens when things get really bad. At this stage, the kidneys barely filter waste, balance fluids, or keep up with the usual body tasks. When someone reaches kidney failure, they usually need dialysis or a transplant just to stay alive. To sum up: Kidney disease means damaged kidneys, whether it’s early or late. Kidney failure means the kidneys hardly work at all in the final stage. Catching kidney disease early and getting proper treatment can slow down or even hold off kidney failure.
