CHRONIC RENAL FAILURE
The term chronic renal failure describes the existence of irreversibly advanced and usually progressive renal insufficiency. End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is that stage of chronic renal failure at which renal function is no longer sufficient to sustain life. The incidence of newly diagnosed end-stage renal failure is approximately 50 to 100 new cases per million population. There are approximately 80,000 patients currently maintained on chronic dialysis in the United States.
