A member asked:
Is it possible for a patient to die from end stage renal disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is possible: The kidneys filter blood, removing substances that are harmful to the body, and helping to maintain water and electrolyte balance. Depending on the severity of the kidney disease, some patients need dialysis or a kidney transplant to survive.
