    Kidney failure, also known as end-stage renal disease, occurs when the kidneys function at less than 15% of normal. It develops either rapidly (acute) or slowly over time (chronic). There is no cure for kidney failure. Treatment options include hemodialysis, where a machine filters waste from the blood 3-4 times a week for 4 hours each session, or peritoneal dialysis, which uses the lining of the abdomen to filter waste through fluid exchanges done several times daily. The other option is kidney transplant, where a healthy donor kidney replaces the failed kidneys. All treatments require diet restrictions and medication.
