Chronic kidney disease is when your kidneys can`t filter waste and toxins as well as they should.

It's a gradual process that can eventually lead to kidney failure and unfortunately, once it begins, it's irreversible. When a patient has experienced kidney failure, the options they have for their best possible quality of life are either dialysis or a transplant.
