End-stage kidney disease, also called kidney failure, occurs when such damage reaches an advanced stage, preventing the kidneys from carrying out their vital functions. This can lead to a
variety of complications in various organs and systems including the heart and the circulatory system, the lungs, the skeletal system, the nervous system and so on, eventually leading to
death. In the late stages, regular dialysis or a kidney transplant become necessary for survival.
