What are the treatments for end-stage renal disease (esrd)?

Dialysis or transpla: Dialysis either hemodialysis in the dialysis center or at home or peritoneal dialysis at home. Kidney transplant from a deceased or live donor.

Txp, dialysis, death: End-stage renal disease is defined as insufficient kidney function to support life. The time frame within which life will end varies depending on how the patient restricts intake of fluids + products (like potassium) that are managed by the kidneys. If no treatment is provided (or accepted by the patient), death will eventually occur. The only 2 treatment options are dialysis or transplantation.
