The irreversible damage to the kidneys could happen mainly because of diabetes, hypertension, infection, urinary obstruction, stone disease and some inherited abnormalities.
Advanced stage of chronic kidney failure requires some form of renal replacement therapy like hemodialysis (filtering the blood off toxins and waste products), continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis or a transplant said Dr. Ajay Goyal adding as of now, kidney transplant is the best treatment option for any suitable patient with chronic kidney failure.
